According to reports, the Independent Democrats’ future is in the balance following Wednesday’s bi-elections in Tafelsig, Mitchell’s Plain. The bi-election was won by the Democratic Alliance, who now hold one-hundred-and-six seats in the city’s multi-party government. Wednesday’s by-election came about after ward candidate, Sheval Arendse, defected from the ID to the DA, in a protest against the ID for siding with the ANC in it’s vote for Cape Town’s mayor. According to political analysts, the loss is a major setback for Patricia De Lille’s political party, who obtained less than 30-percent of the votes on Wednesday.
