Johannesburg has a new sheriff in town - ANC takes over from the DA

Out of the 270 seats in council, the meeting reached a quorum with 145 councillors registered to attend. The DA had rushed to the Johannesburg high court with an application to interdict the sitting on an urgent basis but this was struck off the roll with costs.

Coalition partners were frustrated with Da Gama when he moved to force the council to vote for committee chairs during coalition negotiations shortly after the 2021 local government elections. The negotiations were meant to determine which parties would chair committees and which portfolios would be handled by the DA’s coalition partners in the mayoral committee.

Leaders from the DA coalition — which includes ActionSA, Freedom Front Plus, Inkatha Freedom Party, African Christian Democratic Party and Cope — had been scrambling to quell dissent among their members in an effort to save Phalatse from the motion in council. Another factor which could add to the DA’s woes is the party’s reluctance to have the smaller parties take positions in municipal council troikas.

“It will result in renewed horse-trading and haggling over positions, potentially involving seven different parties, across the three Gauteng Metros. Ultimately, service delivery and functionality will suffer if the coalition agreements are re-opened to negotiation.”The newly elected Johannesburg mayor promised to turn around the city’s financial crisis, saying its entities were financially on their knees.

The voters must understand what it means to vote for the smaller parties. They ultimately sell out to the the most corrupt party.

Good luck 😏
