There was almost a confrontation between ANC and IFP supporters in Malukazi informal settlement near Umlazi when members of the ruling party used the same route to stage a mini rally.
They slowly approached the IFP crowd and gestured in a provocative manner while using vulgar language.
Despite that, the IFP crowd was told by Ntuli to remain calm and not to fall for the “obvious provocation” and they complied. The ANC crowd then marched through and it was during that time that one of the off-road vans of the IFP with a mounted public address system was leaving the spot where they had gathered.Despite that incident, the nearly confrontational situation was contained until the ANC left the area and continued with their singing a distance away from the IFP rally.
Later about four SAPS vans were spotted near the ANC crowd and the officers in the vans were closely monitoring the situation. Ntuli then kicked off his door-to-door campaign by visiting a house owned by the Mkhize family who originally hail from Dondotha near Mpangeni in the north of KwaZulu-Natal.She later pledged that “as usual my vote will go to the old man as even my brother back home is an IFP leader”.
