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.

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.

Hierdeur erken die DA dat hul “regering” onstabiel is!
