POLITICAL NEWS - Eleven Cape Town councillors, including deputy Mayor Ian Neilson and mayco member Brett Herron, could face investigations by the Democratic Alliance (DA) as part of the fallout over Mayor Patricia De Lille.
The DA's federal executive has also decided that council Speaker Dirk Smit and the party's caucus whip Shaun August will remain in their jobs for now, after they were asked to provide reasons why they should not resign.
They have been implicated as being party to De Lille's decision-making in an internal party investigation led by John Steenhuisen.
The DA's federal executive decided on Sunday that Mayor Patricia de Lille should face disciplinary charges, but it's now been left up to the party's legal commission to determine whether other councillors should be charged too.
