“People are crying out for leadership for answers, for basic services and for means to support their families,” said Narend Singh, the IFP's chief whip in parliament.Singh was speaking at a media briefing in Durban after a four-day meeting of the IFP's national committee.The main aim of the meeting was to discuss the issues affecting the country, including unemployment and Eskom.
“The IFP is calling for public-private partnerships to be fast-tracked for the distribution of electricity within the SA community. Our money is used recklessly, taxpayers’ money is used for unnecessary purposes. We are tired of bailing out SOEs ,” Singh said. “The target of the leadership is that 2024 must come within the grasp of the IFP in terms of control, as we were in charge for 10 years from 1994-1999 ... we led this province in all areas including the metro.
“During our tenure you didn’t hear about any kinds of corruption and the maladministration that is happening now, it was only service delivery on top,” Singh said.“This is the party that can really showcase leadership qualities all over SA. We come as influential player. As a party, we have experience in leadership and our mission is to continue building the party,” he said.
