Vryburg - The Inkatha Freedom Party has laid charges with police after IFP election campaigners were assaulted, allegedly by African National Congress members in the North West, the IFP said on Saturday.
"The IFP has opened a case with the South African Police Service of assault at Huhudi police station in Vryburg after IFP supporters in Vryburg in North West province were assaulted [allegedly] by ANC members while campaigning for the party. Further to this, all IFP posters were vandalised," he said.
Propaganda was a powerful thing. It could shape opinions, relationships, voting patterns, and nations. One of the biggest problems the IFP faced in other provinces was the misconception that the party was reserved for Zulu-speaking people. The IFP had been subjected to a great deal of propaganda over the years with the intention of confusing the electorate and damaging their reputation. It was all part of a “long campaign of propaganda and vilification promoted by the ANC", Gwala said.
"We are now convinced that Huhudi police officers are biased and are in cahoots with the ANC. It is a well known fact that if it was ANC members the police would have worked around the clock to arrest the suspects and even offer a reward for those with information to assist the police in their investigation, but because it is IFP supporters police seem to be trying do everything to sweep this issue under the carpet.
