IFP, EFF tensions escalate in KwaZulu-Natal hung municipality - Motion of no confidence against IFP office bearers at the Nongoma municipality scheduled as EFF joins forces with the ANC and NFP
According to EFF national spokesperson, Sinawo Tambo, the party was in possession of information from the police showing that IFP leaders were planning to have Dlamini assassinated.
The fallout between the EFF and IFP paves the way for the ANC to wrest control of some of KZN’s municipalities from the IFP. “The reasons why these motions have been filed are simple, we are working with the ANC. Quite frankly we have numbers on our side. We are confident that come Wednesday the municipality is going to be run by the coalition of the NFP, ANC and EFF,” said Mdletshe.
“The EFF’s delusions of grandeur have come full circle in the face of a brewing internal revolt emanating out of its decision to restore the ANC to power. It exaggerated its influence, assuming its parting of ways with us would spell disaster for the IFP,” he said.
