JOHANNESBURG - The ANC in Johannesburg wants Mayor Dada Morero out ahead of the local government elections. 
The party held a meeting on Saturday to discuss Morero's future as the mayor of the City of Gold.
eNCA understands that the special regional executive committee recommended to party leaders that the mayor be recalled.
It's believed regional leaders will discuss the recommendation with provincial and national leaders this week.
Political analyst Levy Ndou says the ANC has lost votes in Johannesburg and removing their mayor is risky.

"Inside they are focusing on pointing fingers at each other and which is one of the things that is making them to lose support not only in the city of Johannesburg and elsewhere."

Morero lost the position of Joburg ANC chairpesron to Loyiso Masuku in December.
He has also survived several motions of no-confidence amid serious service delivery problems in the City of Gold.
