According to Mazzone, De Lille was offered the MP job previous year as an amicable resolution to the battle that was ensuing in the Cape Town caucus and in the party over her mayorship.

De Lille is headed to court on Friday after the DA rescinded her membership and removed her as mayor.

South Africa's second city, Cape Town, has appointed its deputy executive mayor Ian Neilson to the post of acting executive mayor, replacing Patricia de Lille after nine years in power.Neilson on Tuesday said he was committed to serving the people of Cape Town, following the opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) decision to dismiss De Lille from the party.

The spat between the DA and De Lille took a turn for the worse on the weekend when the party informed her that her membership had allegedly "ceased". "Legal processes have inhibited our ability to fully on-board the media on this protracted process that the DA has followed in dealing with Ms de Lille‚" the invitation said.

"Why was it so hard for them to run the disciplinary charges against me in an open process before a retired judge or senior advocate?" Acting Mayor Ian Neilson claims De Lille is out of office, while De Lille's legal team have said that because they have filed court papers to challenge the cessation of her membership an acting mayor cannot yet be appointed.
