The EFF took a central role in defending the late Mangosuthu Buthelezi in a sea of criticism about some of the prince’s actions during the conflict leading up to the democratic breakthrough.
JOHANNESBURG - The Inkatha Freedom Party’s Secretary General, Siphosethu Ngcobo, said it came as no surprise that the Economic Freedom Fighters’s Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, during a speech in honour of Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi, was accused of playing politics.Speaking to Eyewitness News, a day after Ndlozi drew harsh criticism for his address, Ngcobo said it was hard for politicians to not be political when given an opportunity to address large crowds.
This was a move seen by some as just a bid to try to woo the IFP into a working relationship in 2024.
