Patricia De Lille could be in Hotwater.

Democratic Alliance is considering amending its Constitution to include a recall clause that could spell the end of Patricia De Lille.

If agreed on the DA's next month Federal Congress, the DA will be allowed to force any member appointed in government to resign, for among other things, bringing the party into disrepute. This clause has proved to be a thorn in the DA, notably in 2001 when former mayor Peter Marais successfully won a High Court battle to get his job back after he was booted from the party.

De Lille is currently being disciplined for misconduct and she's facing a city forensic investigation and if this clause is agreed upon De Lille might be the first DA member to be sent home by it.
