In its findings released on Monday, the commission said that the statement that De Lille was fired was false.
The commission said the DA, in its own submissions, admitted that"Ms De Lille resigned as mayor in exchange for the DA dropping the disciplinary charges against her"."The fact of the matter is that the script supplied to call centre operators provides guidance and direction on how to answer particular issues or questions raised by the person with whom the call centre operator is communicating.
"With regard to the complaint that the canvassing script constitutes a contravention of sections 89 and of the Electoral Act, this is a matter for the courts to decide," the commission said. It also ordered the party to issue a public apology for the false statement within three days after receiving the order.
PatriciaDeLille We all know that if your boss asks you to tender your resignation then you actually got fired. So Antie Pattie actually won this case on a technicality. Our_DA
Please deduct some votes as punishment.
She was fired initially wasnt she, but refused to go,,🤔or were they trying🤔🤔🤭🤭

OPINIONISTA: What really went wrong in the City of Cape TownI am a social democrat who believes that a capitalist system skewed towards social justice is the only sustainable solution to fixing the ravages of our apartheid past. I had to return to something I can believe in. Since establishing GOOD, I have been called by people from all over the country who are disillusioned with the old parties and seeking a new home. Not convinced ... too much finger pointing and you are totally unblemished ... I don't think anyone is as pure as you make yourself out to be ... no I think power, influence and money may be motivating factors behind the Good Party It was putting her in charge as a Nayor that went wrong! PatriciaDeLille Good is no Good Ouma pat only wants revenge against the DA coz she failed in doing her job. Those who think she has anyone's interest at heart are just as ignorant as ouma pat. When will the young people get a chance if this old people dont want to just step down ffs

The battle for the youth: DA channels Childish Gambino in new election adThe DA has gone pop in its latest advertisement ahead of the May 8 elections, evoking some imagery from Childish Gambino's 'This is America' hit music video. Childish Gambino?....oh is that what that was Wait I'm confused isn't childish Gambino a famous rapper and also plays in star wars. The DA still needs to work even harder at attacking their detractors' claims that the party is inherently anti-black. THAT is their number one obstacle. Only testimonials from black people will solve that.
