Acting Western Cape premier Patricia de Lille was mocked booed at the ANC rally in Athlone on Monday.

Religious leaders who attended the rally in Athlone say the extreme intolerance did not bode well for the forthcoming local government elections.

Archbishop Thabo Makgoba, Father John Oliver and Tahirih Matthew of the Western Cape Religious Leaders Forum say they were saddened and shocked to witness the gross disgrace De Lille was subjected to.

The Democratic Alliance also condemned the way De Lille was treated.

Mazibuko says the ANC used the multi-party, government-sponsored event as a political rally.
