The head of the Joburg Executive Mayor Mpho Phalatse will be on the chopping block at the council meeting scheduled for Friday, 30 September.

“In particular, it beggars belief that Herman Mashaba, whose party initiated the entire process by violating the coalition agreement to call for the renegotiation of previously agreed-upon positions, claims to be a victim of arrogance and bullying. He goes on to outline how the IFP has been underrepresented as far as positions in the coalition are concerned. “The definition of quorum means a total of 50% plus one of elected councillors. UPDATE on Friday 9.15am: The City of Joburg mayor Mpho Phalatse is fighting for her survival. In an attempt to clean up the mess Mashaba created, the Coalition Task Team met last night to agree on a united communications plan. However, Beaumont hit back, saying that the DA does not believe in co-governance but instead wants to govern alone with the support of others. 📑 The Joburg coalition agreement proves that Herman Mashaba signed-off on the allocation of positions. [Helen Zille ](https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2022-09-19-helen-zille-unplugged-da-is-not-racist-nor-arrogant/)refused any changes being made in a letter she sent to the coalition technical task team on Sunday. The coalition partners then held a virtual meeting on Sunday night where they vented their frustrations about the matter to DA leader John Steenhuisen. They went on to accuse ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba of being a liar. Just after the news of her possible ousting, Phalatse penned an open letter where she ruled out the possibility of resigning: “Over the last few days, there have been calls for my resignation, pending the tabling of a motion of confidence in me, and by extension the entire Executive of the city. Their only focus will be to empty the city’s coffers, stop service delivery and collapse the city,” it reads.
