Phelatse out!, Dada Morero is the new joburg mayor | Breaking News

The African National Congress’s Dada Morero has been elected as the new City of Johannesburg Executive Mayor following a vote of no confidence in the DA’s Mpho Phelatse. Despite Phelatse’s earlier attempts to stop the special sitting by lodging an urgent interdict at the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg and calling on Joburg’s residents for support, she still got out. Dada Morero stood unopposed at the election as his name was the only one brought forward during the nominations, with the DA and IFP choosing to abstain from participating in the proceedings. Today’s victory means that the ANC has successfully taken back control of the country’s economic hub.

Mixed reactions as Dada Morero becomes mayor

Mixed reactions from South Africans have since risen, with some citizens completely dismayed by the outcome of the elections as they believe that “corruption” has been reinstated in the city.

City of Johannesburg again in disarray Politicians back stabbing each other. Friends now foes. Partners supporting the enemy. Are these supposed leaders working for us ,for the city ,for the country? Or is it all about their greed and lust for power and the spoils of corruption

Colleen Makhubela is the new epidemic in the city of Johannesburg. Instead of service delivery they are busy with useless motions that are disruptive to continuity.

Congratulations to the Mayor of the City of Johannesburg, Mr Dada Morera.

I hope this serves as a lesson to the DA — arrogance and disrespect to your fellow elected officials will collapse your hardwork. Sad. — Cameron K. Peters (@CameronKendall) September 30, 2022

The way things are going in City of Johannesburg, it looks like the #ANC are coming back to power with backing from #EFF, Patriotic Alliance and COPE.

That means goodbye “#OperationBuyaMthetho“, and welcome back inner-city filth and ever increasing crime! — Sihle Ngobese (@BigDaddyLiberty) September 29, 2022
