ActionSA welcomes the withdrawal of COJ MONC against Mayor Mpho Phalatse
24 November 2022
ActionSA is pleased that the Motion of No Confidence (MONC) in the City of Johannesburg Executive Mayor Dr Mpho Phalatse failed, ensuring continuation of the Multi-Party Coalition and service delivery to the City’s more than six million residents continue.
The failure of the MONC also prohibits the ANC from getting its hands on the City’s R77 billion budgets, in line with ActionSA’s mission to remove the ANC from power and forging ahead with a pro-poor governance agenda in the City.
ActionSA has long maintained that it would take at least one term, or five years, to turn the situation in the City of Johannesburg around and improve service delivery.
It is for that reason that ActionSA Caucus views the failure of this MONC as an opportunity presented to the Multi-Party Coalition to engage in a process of consolidating a possible majority bloc before the next Council meeting.
