The decision to shift Hlabisa was made during Monday's IFP national executive committee (NEC).
The IFP has redeployed the party’s president Velenkosini Hlabisa, who was also their KwaZulu-Natal caucus leader, to the National Assembly to fill the vacancy created by the death of party founder Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi.
These appointments are effective immediately, and the IEC and the National Assembly of Parliament will facilitate the necessary administrative processes with the party.Hlabisa, who was elected IFP president in 2019 following Buthelezi’s decision to step down as party leader, played a critical role in the IFP’s resurgence in KZN following a decline brought about by the 2011 split which saw the party’s national chairperson Zanele kaMagwaza-Msibi launching a rival organisation, the NFP.
Zondi, who at one point was the deputy minister of Public Works, will join the IFP KZN Legislature Caucus as an MPL. However, following the eruption of a succession battle in the party, Zondi in 2012 announced his retirement from active politics.The changes made by the IFP leadership also resulted in the elevation of the party’s Women’s Brigade deputy chairperson, Thembeni kaMadlopha-Mthethwa, who will assume the role of IFP provincial legislature caucus chief whip.
