Patricia de Lille resigns as Western Cape provincial leader
Patricia de Lille has stepped down from her position as DA Western Cape provincial leader.
De Lille said that the DA-run City of Cape Town is taking a new direction in addressing inequality, through better service delivery.
“These exciting changes will mean even more demands on me, in my capacity as the DA’s elected executive mayor. I am determined to give this new task my absolute dedication, and I have therefore chosen to step down as the Leader of the DA in the Western Cape,” she said.
De Lille noted that during her tenure as provincial leader, the DA has won new municipalities, including in the rural regions of the province, and increased its share of the vote in the City of Cape Town to 66.7%.
“The DA is committed to redressing the injustices of the past. For this reason, the City of Cape Town has embarked on the Organisational Development and Transformation Plan (ODTP).
“This initiative will improve service delivery and further the DA’s plan of entrenching the City of Cape Town as being an opportunity city, that creates jobs. It will also ensure that more is done to bring service delivery closer to our most vulnerable.
“Ensuring that this vision is brought to fruition will require my undivided attention,” de Lille said of her future plans.
