The motions will most likely be heard at the next council meeting at the end of the month.

In a statement on Wednesday,Johannesburg DA caucus leader Belinda Kayser-Echeozonjoku said the “economic heart of South Africa is falling apart”.

She said that the basic services were crumbling under the current leadership,and communities were being neglected.

“The Executive Mayor has failed the people. Instead of leading with integrity,his administration has been marked by mismanagement,patronage networks,and a disturbing lack of transparency,” she added.

The motion of no confidence was announced just ahead of the mayor’s State of the City Address on Wednesday afternoon.
