Punish the ANC at the polls for the July unrest that brought KwaZulu-Natal to its knees - this is the gospel the IFP is preaching ahead of November 1.
The IFP launched its election manifesto for the upcoming November 1 elections on Thursday, with party president Velenkosini Hlabisa and founder Mangosuthu Buthelezi promising an intensified campaign.Punish the ANC at the polls for the July unrest that brought KwaZulu-Natal to its knees — this is the gospel the IFP is preaching ahead of the November 1 local government elections.
“Under their leadership, KwaZulu-Natal was thrust into a political war, with looting, civil unrest, damage to property and destruction of jobs. They have brought this province, and our entire country, to its knees. We now face economic disaster,” said Buthelezi. “While the ruling party burnt down KwaZulu-Natal, countless communities stood together against the anarchy. You stood hand in hand with the IFP, through many long nights, ensuring that peace could be restored.
“It is time to put KwaZulu-Natal back into the hands of leaders who build, who serve, and who put the people first,” he added. In its hopes to retain Nkandla municipality under the King Cetshwayo district, the IFP further committed to prioritise assistance to anyone starting or operating a small business and other infrastructure aimed at helping business to thrive.“We are also working to connect disadvantaged communities to the internet, by using municipal facilities such as libraries and clinics to create Wi-Fi hotspot hubs.
