The party says the decision to place Matatiele in the Eastern Cape was unjust due to underdevelopment in the province, even in areas close to the provincial capital Bhisho.
The Inkatha Freedom Party is committed to helping the people of Matatiele in the Eastern Cape to be re-incorporated into KwaZulu-Natal , the party said on Sunday.
They were welcomed into the IFP by the party’s national organiser Philani Magcaba and IFP Eastern Cape provincial chairperson Thabo Mandila, accompanied by IFP deputy national spokesperson Joshua Mazibuko, and IFP organiser Sibusiso Mpontshane. “We want to help you to be incorporated into KZN because it’s just 250 kilometres from here to Pietermaritzburg while you travel over 500 kilometres to your capital city of Bhisho,” said Mandila.
“If a patient is transferred to Frere Hospital in East London for major medical attention, it becomes difficult to visit as it is impossible to make a return [journey] on the same day,” said Mandila.
