She survived a second attempt after the African Independent Congress' Margaret Arnolds withdrew her no confidence motion at the eleventh hour. Phalatse's spokesperson Mabine Seabe confirmed the pending motions to oust the mayor, saying “for as long as councillor Mpho Phalatse is in office she is focused on dispensing her duties under the banner of repairing and rebuilding the City of Johannesburg”.
