City of Johannesburg Speaker of Council, Nobuhle Mthembu, has been removed.
A motion of no confidence was carried against the ActionSA councillor at a sitting on Wednesday.
212 councillors supported her removal, while 48 voted against the motion.
That means the city is now without a speaker, and the council will have to reconvene to elect one. In the meantime, the city manager will preside over meetings and call a special sitting to select a new speaker.
