The crisis in the Independent Democrats deepens

The crisis in Patricia de Lille’s Independent Democrats appears to be worsening with open rebellion in various branches in the Western Cape. Members are mainly dissatisfied with her leadership style and links to the ANC. The Weekend Argus reports that in Worcester three angry ID members, including the party’s mayoral candidate, have obtained a High Court order to put a stop to the mayoral election. The order prevents the newly elected council from meeting. ID members in several small municipalities are refusing to support the ANC in hung councils.
