‘Aunty Pat’ approached the court after the party refused to apologise to her for spreading falsehoods. The high court in Cape Town on Wednesday postponed to Friday an application by Good party leader Patricia de Lille for an interdict against the Democratic Alliance in a bid to compel the party to stop telling voters she was fired as Cape Town mayor last year.
De Lille approached the court after the DA refused to apologise to her for spreading falsehoods, as per an order of the Electoral Commission of South Africa last week. The IEC ordered the DA to apologise to its former member, setting a deadline of three days for the party to do so publicly, for telling potential voters during telecanvassing ahead of the May 8 elections that De Lille was fired from her position as Cape Town mayor.
