Buthelezi’s face on election posters should not be seen as undermining IFP leader Hlabisa, says the party
Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi might no longer be the IFP leader, but his face is still on the party's election posters - and the party sees absolutely no issue with it.
Prince Buthelezi has been assigned a duty and responsibility to manage the transition in the party. He is still part of the party’s operations and as far as the IFP and its structures are concerned, there is no crisis.“The politics of the face of the party must continue to be understood in the context that we work on the basis of the mandate of the structures; these binding decisions are resolutions of the 2019 conference in so far as the image of the party is concerned,” said Hlengwa.
“The leadership responded to its plans by saying the face of Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi will be used in tandem with that of the party leadership in general, and this is a proposal that came from the president [Hlabisa] of the party.
