Dada Morero remains Johannesburg mayor as DA’s motion of no confidence fails

# Johannesburg mayor Dada Morero has survived a motion of no confidence against him. The DA-sponsored motion failed, with 144 councillors voting against it, 75 in favour, and 43 abstaining. ActionSA, a key ANC ally, abstained, saying it could not defend Morero’s track record. The GOOD Party warned that removing the mayor would deepen instability in the city. With support from smaller parties, Morero remains in office despite growing calls for improved governance.
