The Democratic Alliance has said it will accept a finding that it may have failed to follow due process in the way it terminated Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille’s membership, telling the high court it would accept a declaratory order of that nature as long as the court does not set aside her removal.

Tussentydse burgemeesterskomitee word Maandag in Kaap aangestel
Posted on Leave a comment
Ian Neilson, waarnemende burgemeester van Kaapstad, gaan Maandag ’n tussentydse burgemeesterskomitee aanstel.
Dit kom nadat Patricia de Lille verlede week uit die DA geskop is en gevolglik haar pos kwyt is en haar kantoor moes ontruim.
Neilson is sedertdien as waarnemende burgemeester aangestel en die ou burgemeesterskomitee is ontbind. Die adjunkburgemeester in sy hoedanigheid as waarnemende burgemeester moet dan ’n nuwe burgemeesterskomitee aanstel.
De Lille het Vrydag die hooggeregshof in Kaapstad gevra om haar afdanking uit die DA en gevolglik as burgemeester van Kaapstad ongedaan te maak.

DA van Kaapstad skop de Lille uit
Posted on Leave a comment
Die DA het na weke se interne stryd besluit dat Patricia de Lille uit die party geskop moet word.
In antwoord daarop het sy gesê dat sy die besluit in die hof gaan beveg.
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!

What white privilege Mr. Maimane?
Posted on Leave a comment
DA leader Mmusi Maimane seemed to have really opened a can of worms with his tactless remark on white privilege last week, using his own wife in the crudest manner imaginable as an example.
