The IFP has reaffirmed its snub of the ANC, saying it’s the IFP’s duty to restore dignity where it has been stripped away by the ruling party’s mismanagement, corruption and greed.
IFP president Velenkosini Hlabisa said despite recent coalition government developments, his party would not be distracted by insults from political parties that flip-flop with each passing month.
“We have seen that the apartheid collaborator, IFP, is not ready to change, and we are going to stop working with them. The IFP must not get anything anywhere where we are involved, be it Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni, Mogale City. Anywhere you see the ugly head of the IFP, put it aside,” Malema had said.
“This is due to their own greed for power, positions and contracts. Birds of the same feather flock together,” Hlabisa said.The party leader says IFP and EFF leaders held a meeting where the EFF expressed a desire to lead a municipality in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal, where it would gain governance experience.
“In the [City of Joburg], they offered that the ANC would identify a small party to take the position of the mayor and that the EFF would do the same at Ekurhuleni. These would be token proxy mayors to be effectively manipulated by EFF and the ANC,” Hlabisa said.
