De Lille vs The DA
The battle between the Democratic Alliance and Cape Town mayor, Patricia de Lille has finally come to a head. After months of attempting to remove De Lille from office through internal party disciplinary processes, the DA finally succeeded by withdrawing her membership. As the party continues to defend its position, De Lille insists she’s not going without a fight and some analysts believe that these recent events show that the DA is imploding and losing support in its key constituencies. Carte Blanche analyses a party in crisis.

Protea Glen Land Grabs
Protea Glen residents have warned illegal land invaders to stay away from a piece of land near the Soweto suburb, saying they will not tolerate the erection of shacks next to their homes. But the land invaders seem determined, resulting in violent clashes with police. According to research, the majority of land invaders are after residential spaces to be able to live closer to a working economy, rather than agricultural land. Has the invasion of land in Protea Glen turned the traditional notion of so-called land grabs on its head?
