“As you go to your voting station and make your mark on the ballot paper, take a moment to imagine what your vote will create. It may well be the tipping point that gives the numbers to the IFP, restoring to this province a leadership of integrity. Your vote can change everything,” he told thousand’s of supporters at the IFP’s final election rally in Ulundi, Northern KwaZulu-Natal.
Corruption took root in the governing African National Congress. It was ignored and allowed to fester. And by the time it erupted full blown into public view, the worst of the damage had already been done. Government was riddled with corruption. The results were there for everyone to see. Broken promises, and systems. Economic collapse, and crisis, Buthelei said.
It was time then to change the power dynamic and to topple from power those who abused their positions. It was time to clean house at the highest levels, because “this is our house”. It did not belong to politicians and cadres. It belonged to the people. If those elected abused the people’s mandate, they needed to be removed.
