Cape Town mayor Patricia De Lille says she unhappy about delays surrounding her DA disciplinary hearing on Thursday,  saying the delays are costing her money as she's paying her own legal bills.

The delays came after Potchefstroom based disciplinary panel member Pogiso Monchusi withdrew from the hearing.

"The DA has to find a replacement and have to restart the process" said De Lille.

De Lille, who has been mayor of Cape Town since 2011 has described the delays as a waste of time and money, saying she feels like going straight to court.

"So reality it is a waste of time.  I have to pay my lawyers. So we didn't get to the debate to make this hearing open. We just feel like going straight to court"
