NATIONAL NEWS - Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille has been asked to provide reasons to the Democratic Alliance (DA) why she should not resign as mayor.
This following an investigation by a DA sub-committee into allegations of maladministration in the city and tensions within its city caucus.
The DA says that the probe has now been concluded and there’s sufficient cause for concern over De Lille’s leadership.
De Lille and mayoral committee member JP Smith were placed on suspension in October after differences over the closure of a special investigating unit became a public spat.
The DA says its sub-committee tasked with investigating tensions within its city caucus has found sufficient management and governance-related challenges that are negatively affecting the running of the city.
