Ian Neilson, waarnemende burgemeester van Kaapstad, gaan Maandag ’n tussentydse burgemeesterskomitee aanstel.

Adjunk burgemeester Ian Nelison is intussen aangestel as waarnemende burgemeester maar die party gaan so gou moontlik ‘n nuwe burgemeester aanwys om “stabiliteit” te verkry in die plaaslike regering wat “geskud” is met die geveg met De Lille.
Hierdeur erken die DA dat hul “regering” onstabiel is!
