DA Mayor Patricia De Lille briefs the media on the latest developments following a decision by the Democratic Alliance (DA) to rescinded her membership.
The party’s Federal Executive Committee announced the decision at a media briefing in Cape Town. Her position as mayor has not been clarified yet, but the party says it expects Deputy Mayor Ian Neilson to become acting mayor.
In the past eight months, the fiery political leader has remained steadfast in opposing any attempts by the DA top brass to unseat her from her mayoral position.
In her submission to the Federal Executive, De Lille maintained her innocence, dismissing the charges brought against her as a political witch-hunt.
