No-confidence motion against Morero withdrawn
The motion of no confidence against Johannesburg Mayor Dada Morero has been withdrawn.
The withdrawal follows a meeting between Morero and a group of minority parties in the council.
It was withdrawn by Al-Jama-ah councillor Kabelo Gwamanda moments before the council was due to sit on Tuesday.
The motion was submitted by a group of minority parties, including the Democratic Movement (UDM), African Independent Congress (AIC), and Al-Jama-ah.
They cited a breakdown of governance, administrative instability, and political interference in the city’s operations as the reasons for tabling the motion.
Speaking ahead of the motion, the group emphasised that the aim was to replace the mayor, not to dissolve the coalition, and was part of a broader effort to restore collective leadership that prioritises consultation, transparency, and lawful governance.
"We remain committed to the stability of the Government of Local Unity and to working with all coalition partners in good faith," Gwamanda said at the time.
