News24 | Morero survives another day as no-confidence vote deferred

Johannesburg executive mayor, Dada Morero, has survived another day after the motion of no confidence in him was deferred.

The motion was brought by the Al Jama-ah party and seconded by the UDM on 15 January. It was requested that the vote be conducted by secret ballot.

Speaker Margaret Arnolds said that, in light of the request to hold a secret ballot, all motions would be deferred.

She did not say when they would be held.

According to the motion, the “Mayor failed to provide decisive leadership and to deliver on the urgent service delivery needs of the residents”, and, “under his tenure, the City has experienced persistent governance instability, lack of accountability, and worsening service delivery challenges, which have eroded public trust and compromised the mandate of this Council to serve the people effectively”.
