The DA, has hit two legal speed humps as it gets to the final leg of the election race on May 8.
This after its suspended Ekurhuleni councillor and sexual harassment accuser Thina Bambeni took her own party to court seeking that her suspension be set aside.
Her actions saw her being removed from a list of candidates the party had submitted to the IEC to go to parliament after the elections next month. "The DA, unlike other big political parties, has a clear sexual harassment policy. The party's leaders in the province deliberately failed to interpret the policy and throw the book at Shadow.
Meanwhile, an IT company from Benoni on the East Rand was suing the party for more than R2.2m for allegedly failing to pay for goods and services rendered last year. Aerocom Broadband Services has filed combined summonses against the DA and one of its councillors, Jacques Meiring, for allegedly failing to pay it for the supply of 400 computers and installation of internet services.
However, it appeared as though the party failed to make good on its promise as the service provider had no choice but to approach the high court earlier this month.
