Hlabisa says if this is not addressed it could cause unnecessary tension between the two parties.
Inkatha Freedom Party President Velenkosini Hlabisa has called for urgent peace talks between his party and the African National Congress leadership. Hlabisa says the recent incident where ANC supporters were attacked at KwaCeza in northern KwaZulu-Natal must be entirely condemned and action be taken against those involved.
The IFP has also distanced itself from the incident. This after ANC in the province accused the IFP of being behind the attack. The IFP held a media briefing in Durban on Friday. Circumstances surrounding the attack of ANC supporters, who attended the 110th commemoration of King Dinizulu’s event in KwaNongoma are still not clear. The event was attended by AmaZulu King Misuzulu kaZwelithini and President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Ramaphosa condemned the incident and called on law enforcement agencies to probe the matter. The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal accused the IFP of being behind the attack. The IFP has distanced itself from the incident and called for a thorough investigation.
“If his majesty is concerned in anyway by his prime minister’s conduct on any occasion that is for his majesty to address, it is not the role of any politician to tell his majesty what his prime minister can and cannot say. It is also not for any politician to question his majesty’s authority or wisdom in appointing his prime minister,” Hlabisa said.In statement released on Friday, King Misuzulu said he viewed Duma’s actions as unbecoming and provocative.
