Patricia De Lille must pay back money for security upgrade or ANC will picket, party warns
ANC leader in the City of Cape Town‚ Xolani Sotashe‚ has given mayor Patricia de Lille five days to pay back the money used for security upgrades to her private home. Sotashe said if De Lille did not comply‚ the party would bring the masses to picket at the city’s head offices. He also said his party would file a complaint with the office of Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane to investigate the matter. For the second day running‚ the party picketed outside De Lille’s house in Pinelands demanding that she pay back more than R702‚000. Sotashe said they were begging De Lille to cough up because "she knows that she stole the money from the taxpayers".
