Cape Town Mayor, Patricia de Lille on Wednesday June 27, 2018 disclosed that her court victory against the Democratic Alliance "is not the end" as she is  expected to be back in court on Thursday for the continuation of the review of internal charges against her.

A full Bench of the Western Cape High Court found on Wednesday that the party';s "determination" that De Lille ceased to be a party member, following comments she made on radio in April, were unlawful.

Judge André le Grange cited various procedural irregularities in De Lille';s removal, specifically the setting up of the DA';s federal legal commission (FLC) panel in De Lille';s case, as evidence of non-compliance.

De Lille';s team cheered after the ruling was delivered.

"This victory today also sends out a strong message that we have rights in this country and we have rights in our Constitution. No one is above the law and no one is above the Constitution of the country," De Lille told journalists immediately after the ruling.

"As all political parties, we must learn from this lesson to treat our members with respect."

De Lille said she would be back in court again on Thursday for the continuation of the review of the internal party report into her conduct, compiled by DA chief whip John Steenhuisen.

She has been asking for the party to submit the evidence used to charge her internally, so that the allegations made against her in public can be tested, but the party has thus far "refused".

"So tomorrow, the court must again rule and force them to give us the evidence. What kind of justice is that?"

She claimed that many in the party "didn';t understand the word justice" but said "thank God for the independence of the judiciary that would protect the rights of all South Africans".
