We note the ruling of the Western Cape High Court.

We remain confident that the substantive case on the cessation of #deLille's party's membership will be successful.

We are resolute in our commitment to make our case to the courts, as the principle of political parties holding their elected representatives to account for their misconduct has serious and far reaching implications, and is an important precedent. #deLille

Patricia De Lille will now act in only a ceremonial role, with substantive governance decisions to be taken by the DA caucus in the interests of the people of CPT (while #deLille enjoys benefits of a Mayoral Salary at rate-payer expense).

It is inconceivable that the DA would be expected to work with a mayor who has lost the confidence of two-thirds of the caucus that she leads on no less than two occasions. #deLille

— Democratic Alliance (@Our_DA) May 15, 2018

We are pursuing this matter because we remain steadfast in our commitment to delivering clean and effective governance, with zero tolerance for maladministration or irregularities of any kind. #deLille

We will not relent in our mission to put Cape Town first & ensure that maladministration & misconduct is kept out of the Mayoral Office.

Our electoral promise in 2016 was to keep corruption out of CPT & continue delivering better services. #deLille
