The Western High Court postponed an application by Good party leader Patricia de Lille for an interdict against the Democratic Alliance to Friday.
Cape Town - The Western High Court on Wednesday postponed an application by GOOD party leader Patricia de Lille for an interdict against the Democratic Alliance to Friday - in a bid to compel the party to stop telling voters she was fired as Cape Town mayor last year.
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.The DA said it would not apologise as it believed the IEC overstepped and that only a court could order it to apologise.
"My lawyers have requested the DA to give me an undertaking to stop using their false script, saying that they “fired me”, at least until a court has determined the finding of the IEC.
