I am relieved that a sense justice prevailed today.
It took an enormous amount of bravery by the DA councillors who supported me today. I thank them for their courage and for voting with conviction today.
I also thank the opposition parties for seeing beyond party lines and voting on a matter of principle.
To the many people of Cape Town and the various communities who have supported me with their kind words and well wishes, my heartfelt thanks goes to each and every single person.
Your words have been a great source of strength during this trying time.
