Independent Democrats leader Patricia de Lille is under fire for “unscrupulously” preventing a leader with a disability from representing the party in Parliament.
Ari Seirlis accuses the arms deal whistleblower of being the mastermind behind a “fraudulent” scheme which saw him removed from the party’s parliamentary list to make way for her “crony” Joe Mcgluwa.
Seirlis is the national director of the QuadPara Association of South Africa.
“You (De Lille) invited me to join your party as number three on your candidate list for the National Assembly.
“When you didn’t perform as well as you had hoped ... achieving only four seats, you tried through your secretary- general Haniff Hoosen to bully me into resigning so that one of your old cronies could take my rightful place in Parliament.”
Seirlis further charged that her submitted a “fraudulent and false” resignation letter on his behalf. The letter bears Seirlis’ signature but he denies authoring it.
Seirlis says Hoosen made she sign two blank forms when he visited him at his home to persuade him to give up his number three spot.
Hoosen said he was “surprised” about Seirlis’s allegations. “We have absolutely nothing to hide,” he added.
De Lille insisted that Seirlis did in fact resign.
