The ANC has expressed confidence that Mpho Phalatse's days as mayor of Johannesburg are numbered as the party moves to install its caucus leader, Dada Morero, in her place.
The City of Joburg multi-party coalition has termed the election of Colleen Makhubele as the metro council speaker as a setback, saying her election threatens the return of the ANC to run the city.
