The IFP in KwaZulu-Natal announced on Tuesday that former EFF councillors, Bongimpilo Nhlengethwa and Zanele Nzuza, were among 155 members of various parties who joined it.
According to the party, Nhlengethwa was leading an operation, allegedly sanctioned by Zululand District Municipality Mayor Thulasizwe Buthelezi, to get EFF members in Zululand to resign from organisational responsibilities and positions and take up government positions in an effort to weaken the EFF and fight its kingmaker status.
Ntuli said in recent weeks that the party had been inundated with calls from all corners of the province from people who wanted to join the IFP. IFP in KZN welcomed 155 members who jumped ship from other political parties including the EFF and ANC. Photo: Supplied/IFPHe claimed the IFP served as the only credible alternative party in South Africa and said this was the reason for its ability to attract members from other parties. EFF leader Julius Malema instructed all the party's deputy mayors in KwaZulu-Natal to resign immediately.
At the time, IFP leader Velenkosini Hlabisa hit back at Malema, saying his party was not interested in"token mayorships" and blamed the collapse in its relations with the EFF at the latter's feet. He said the Malema-led party was driven by self-interest.
