NATIONAL NEWS - The African National Congress (ANC) says a public spat between Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille and Mayoral Committee Member JP Smith is a clear indication of factionalism in the Democratic Alliance (DA).
Tensions boiled over when Smith questioned the shutting down of the City of Cape Town’s Special Investigating Unit.
Alleged irregularities around renovations to De Lille’s private home have only compounded the matter.
Smith believes this could be linked to alleged irregularities with upgrades to De Lille’s house.
De Lille is considering legal action against Smith. Both have since been placed on special leave.
The ANC’s Xolani Sotashe believes the DA is trying to get rid of De Lille.
