  Patricia de Lille - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Patricia de Lille is the leader of the Independent Democrats, a South African political party which she formed in 2003 when she broke away from the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC).
[2] More recently, de Lille’s woefully poor parliamentary attendance record became the subject of criticism, with opposition parties attacking her for attending just 12 of the 80 sittings of parliament in 2002.
De Lille refused to comment on the allegations, but told reporters that the dissenters had been fired from the party for fraud and corruption.
