The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) in KwaZulu-Natal held a significant media briefing today at the Durban Manor Hotel and Conference Centre, where they made two important announcements.
Firstly, the IFP welcomed new members who had recently joined the party from various political backgrounds. Among them was Thembinkosi Nyembezi from Pinetown, formerly a member of the Abantu Botho Congress (ABC). Nyembezi cited leadership failures within the ABC, leading to confusion and division, prompting his decision to join the IFP. He highlighted the IFP’s rich history and its positive impact on communities as reasons for his choice.
Secondly, the IFP announced the date for their upcoming KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Manifesto. The event is scheduled to take place in Ulundi on the 7th of April 2024. This manifesto launch is anticipated to outline the IFP’s vision and plans for the province, setting the stage for the upcoming elections.
The media briefing served as a dual celebration for the IFP, marking both the addition of new members to their ranks and the unveiling of their provincial manifesto date. These developments underscore the party’s commitment to growth and engagement with the community as they prepare for the elections.
