The now leader of Good, De Lille, said on Monday she was seeking relief in the High Court in Cape Town in a bid to stop her former political home, the DA, from peddling lies about her. “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. The DA have unreasonably refused to do so and this forces me to approach the courts, once again.”

“We have already sought a review of the IEC ‘directive’ on the basis that the IEC lacked any legal power to issue such a directive, the inconsistency and a lack of impartiality on the part of the IEC, and because it was wrong to uphold the complaint on its merits.
