De Lille faces another motion of no confidence
Cape Town Mayor, Patricia de Lille says she's ready for another fight.
She's posted this message on Twitter after the DA in Cape Town passed a successful internal motion of no confidence vote against her last night.
The analogy that I used that this fight that I is like a boxing fight. In the end, what's important is who is gonig to give the knockout," de Lille said.
138 councillors debated and voted on De Lille's future in the council chamber for three hours.

The party says it's lost faith in the corruption-accused mayor - who it says has breached the Code of Conduct for Councillors and had brought the party into disrepute - which she denies.
