De Lille sends out SMS floor-crossing appeals

Independent (South African) Democrats leader Patricia de Lille has sent out 6 500 SMSes to councillors across the country urging them to defect to her party, according to one of her MPs, Avril Harding, reports the Mail&Guardian Online.

"De Lille polled strongly in the Western Cape, and in particular in Cape Town, in the April national and provincial poll. At present she has no city or town councillors as her party was only established last year -- after the floor-crossing period that led her to leave the Pan Africanist Congress."
