The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) will hold its final rally in Ulundi in northern KwaZulu-Natal on Sunday ahead of Wednesday’s general elections.
The party that once governed KwaZulu-Natal for two consecutive terms hopes to do better than the previous elections.
During the 2014 elections, the IFP suffered a huge setback when its support dwindled losing the position of an official opposition in the province.
“This time around we are saying to our people when they go to vote, they must not vote by their heart, but they must use their minds. Even if you belong to a particular organisation, if the organisation if full of corruption, is unable to provide jobs, crime is escalating. Even if you belong to that organisation, it does not help to vote again for that organisation. The second thing that we are saying it makes no sense to protest today against the political party, you vote tomorrow in favour of that party and the following day you go and protest against that political party,” says Velenkosini Hlabisa, IFP Secretary General.
