De Lille threatens to go to court if DA hearing is not open
20 March 2018
Cape Town - Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille has threatened to approach the courts if her request for an open hearing is not granted.
Her disciplinary hearing got off to a slow start. Technicalities were discussed, including how the panel was appointed and how the hearing should be constituted.
"We haven't even gotten to the recusal of the panel yet," she said.
It's no secret that De Lille believes Sheila Camerer, one of the three panellists, is not "competent or suitable to hear the matter". Previously, the mayor said Camerer hadn't "practised law in decades and she is a known political opponent".
