Western Cape Premier, Helen Zille, says she wants to be given a chance to explain her case following the Democratic Alliance's announcement of its intention to suspend her.
Over the weekend DA leader, Mmusi Maimane, announced that Zille would be suspended from all party-related activities pending the outcome of a disciplinary hearing into her Tweets on colonialism.
Zille says proper processes were not followed.

I asked @helenzille to tender an unreserved apology to both SA & the DA for damage she has done. Unfortunately, she declined @MmusiMaimane
