De Lille disciplinary postponed indefinitely
Cape Town - Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille said on Thursday that she was frustrated that her disciplinary hearing was postponed indefinitely after a panelist recused himself.De Lille's legal team had argued for panel members Pogiso Monchusi and Sheila Camerer to be removed.
Monchusi - a practising advocate - acceded to this request. This meant that there was no longer a full panel to hear the charges facing De Lille.
De Lille has been accused of contravening the DA's federal constitution, amid claims of misconduct.The DA will now have to find a replacement.
"It is a waste of time. It is costly for me - I have to pay my lawyers," De Lille said after the hearing was adjourned.
She would not give details as to why she wanted Monchusi removed, saying it was "our point of view that he is not a fit and proper person".
