No leadership in City of Cape Town - ANC CT
Cape Town - The spat between Cape Town mayor Patricia de Lille and mayoral committee member for safety, security and social services, JP Smith, is a sign of factionalism and infighting in the DA, the ANC in the Cape metropole said on Tuesday.
"During the 2016 elections we told you that there is a cold war within the DA and you did not believe us," the party's chairperson in the Dullah Omar region Xolani Sotashe said at a briefing in Philippi East.
"Now we feel vindicated."
Sotashe accused De Lille of changing allegiances "like a chameleon", after moving from the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) to the Independent Democrats (ID), and then agreeing to be absorbed into the Democratic Alliance (DA).
Sotashe claimed that the DA only wanted De Lille for what he called "the coloured vote".
