Thousands of IFP supporters gathered at the Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi Stadium in Ulundi to listen to their leader Mangosuthu Buthelezi addressing them for the last time before elections.
Durban - Thousands of IFP supporters gathered at the Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi Stadium in Ulundi on Sunday morning to listen to their leader Mangosuthu Buthelezi addressing them for the last time before elections on Wednesday.
Scores of buses and minibus taxis delivered people from across KwaZulu-Natal to what they termed national 'Siyanqoba Rally'. The leadership from Gauteng, Mpumalanga, Eastern Cape and Western Cape also attended the final push for the party to convince voters. IFP Youth Brigade national deputy chairperson, Zandile Majozi, who is based in Gauteng, said the IFP has prospects of getting substantial votes in Gauteng.
Buthelezi had early this year announced that he was stepping down as the leader of the party and would no longer be party’s MP after the elections. He announced Secretary General Velenkosini Hlabisa, who is also the mayor of Hlabisa, in northern KwaZulu-Natal, as his successor. “IFP is going to survive, and it is going to continue to seek advice from him.
“He is appealing to the IFP supporters as when he came to Gauteng to talk to us people welcomed him very well. We are very happy that we have young and vibrant candidate,” said Majozi. Political Bureau
