DA will 'go after' Lebogang Maile over Tshwane council dissolution

Speaking during a “town hall meeting” hosted by DA federal council chairperson Helen Zille on Thursday, the party’s mayoral candidate in Tshwane, Randall Williams, confirmed plans to go after Maile.

“We have asked our caucus leader in the Gauteng provincial legislature to raise this issue in the legislature. But I think what we need to do if we want to take further steps against MEC Maile, we will have to wait for the [court actions] to be finalised,” said Williams. “Once our judgment has been implemented and the findings of the full bench [of the North Gauteng High Court] confirm that Maile has acted unlawfully, we can then take legal steps against Maile - once it’s been confirmed by the ConCourt or the SCA.”“In terms of the judgment as it stands now, he acted unlawfully. They call it 'constitutionally

delinquent' because he had a constitutional obligation to act in a certain way and he didn’t. In fact, he did the exact opposite,” she said. “So we certainly will not let that drop, because it’s critically important that people are held to account.”
