The ANC says it will go to court over the postponement of a Johannesburg council meeting on Thursday that was meant to elect a new mayor.

“We will raise the matter with the court ... So that the court can give a declaratory order in terms of the argument on the majority,” said Morero.

Morero said the same rules Da Gama wanted clarity on were used to elect the DA-run administration under former mayor Herman Mashaba. DA Gauteng chairperson Mike Moriarty supported Da Gama, saying the postponement was the correct thing to do. He said the postponement was just for a couple of days to get clarity on ambiguity in the council rules on what the majority meant.The ANC attended the meeting with high hopes of taking over the city after negotiations with the IFP.
