Stay of execution for Joburg mayor as Speaker delays vote of no confidence
Johannesburg mayor Mpho Phalatse will not face a motion of no confidence later this week. Instead, she will remain in her position at least until the next ordinary council meeting this month.
According to the DA in Gauteng, speaker Colleen Makhubele confirmed this in a response to a lawyer's letter from the party that had attempted to interdict Thursday's extraordinary council meeting.
Council was once against expected to listen to a motion of no confidence against Phalatse, a week after the Johannesburg high court overturned her initial removal by the same method.
