The cherry on top was when the IFP won three ANC wards with big margins in Newcastle in a single by-election round on 13 March. “If you want to win an election, you must have five years of hard work, and that is what we have been doing. We worked on a threeyear package from 2016, 2019 and 2021. We started working in 2019 for 2024,” Hlabisa said.“Indeed, KwaZulu-Natal is our top target. The second target is to remove the governing party in Gauteng. We want to influence the decision-making at executive level in the province. Nationally we want push to reduce the ANC majority to below 50%,” he said.
Topping the IFP provincial list and a premier candidate for KwaZulu-Natal is IFP provincial leader Thamsanqa Ntuli, the executive mayor of the King Cetshwayo district municipality.
