ANC nominates Dada Morero for Johannesburg mayor

He is the only candidate put forward by the party and will likely become the next mayor of the embattled City of Johannesburg.

In a press briefing on Tuesday, ANC regional leaders said Morero had been the cornerstone during the tenure of the current mayor, Kabelo Gwamanda.

The leading coalition, the government of local unity, which includes the ANC, EFF, PA and minority parties, has 145 councillors – a majority in the 270-member council.

And that is without the votes of 44 councillors which ActionSA promised the ANC - on condition that Gwamanda steps down.

As long as the coalition stays strong, Morero is sure to take the mayoral chain on Friday, when the special sitting is set to take place.
