De Lille lied about security upgrade expenses at home - WC DA leader
31 January 2018
Cape Town - Embattled Mayor Patricia de Lille's claims that the Auditor-General (AG) found nothing irregular about security upgrades at her home is "blatantly false" and it is intolerable that she mislead her party, Democratic Alliance Western Cape leader Bonginkosi Madikizela said on Wednesday.
De Lille previously and publicly said expenses relating to the payments were all above board.
However, on Wednesday, Madikizela said her public statements, that the AG had "vindicated" her, were not true.
"The AG in the disclosure and listing of irregular expenditure in the financial statements has in fact found that these upgrades were irregular - exposing previous claims by the mayor as blatantly false," he said.
