Members of new City of Johannesburg Mayor Dada Morero’s mayoral committee are set to be sworn in on Monday, 10 October 2022.
Morero announced his new team on Friday, more than a week after he was elected to preside over the metro. His predecessor, the Democratic Alliance’s (DA) Dr Mpho Phalatse was ousted in a motion of no confidence vote that was sponsored by the African National Congress (ANC).

DADA MORERO’S MAYORAL COMMITTEE

Finance: Councillor Margaret Arnolds
Group Corporate and Shared Services: Councillor Loyiso Masuku

“Collectively as different parties, we are united by the love we have for Johannesburg and its people. Today, we are honored to announce the Executive leadership of Johannesburg. Let me begin by indicating the mix of leadership which includes a young woman, women, and different national groups,” Morero said.
Meanwhile, the DA has vowed to challenge in court the process in which Phalatse was ousted. DA leader John Steenhuisen said the process to oust Phalatse in the DA-led coalition in Johannesburg was flawed and reckons they can get it nullified.
“After months of efforts to destabilise coalitions across the country, today the ANC succeeded in seizing control of Johannesburg. I warned precisely a few weeks ago that this is what is transpiring in the background. The ANC’s desperation to get their hands on tenders and contracts from Johannesburg’s R76 billion budget is now clear for all to see,” he said.
