The National Freedom Party is facing mooted court action by members who are planning to interdict it from changing the top 10 list of candidates the party has fielded to take positions as councillors in the Zululand district municipality after the November 1 elections.
The NFP is facing a crippling contest over the list of councillor candidates, with some candidates threatening legal action if they are moved.
This time around the party is ready to take on the IFP. Some within the party are reportedly salivating at the hopes of being kingmakers should the district municipality and other local municipalities like Nongoma, eDumbe, Vryheid and Pongola, be hung. "They learnt that there is a ploy by Malusi Gumede to alter the list and move them out of the top 10, which is considered a safe place. After learning this, they met with their lawyers to prepare court papers to interdict Gumede and his people from doing it," said an NFP insider.
Mdletshe said he was aware of the allegations and has asked the party's leadership in the Zululand district to deal with it.
