The future of the mayor of Joburg Dada Morero seems uncertain as he is no longer the leader of the ANC in the metro.

- Itumeleng Mafisa

Morero was booted out of power at the ANC's regional conference in Johannesburg last week.

His political adversary Loyiso Masuku is the new chair of the ANC in Joburg.

She won the elective conference with 184 votes, while Morero received 149 votes in the early hours of Friday morning.

In a media briefing, ANC regional secretary Sasabona Manganye said it is now up to the party's national office to decide whether Morero continues as mayor of the city.

"The ANC has been quite sensitive about the creation of two centres of power after conferences," said Manganye.
