Opposition jumps ship to join IFP in Umzumbe

The IFP in Umzumbe welcomed 160 new members to the party last weekend.
According to a statement, these members hail from the ANC and Abantu Botho Congress (ABC).

Blessed Gwala who is an IFP national chairperson and leader in the KZN Legislature said more people are choosing the IFP as their political home because they know that it can deliver corruption-free governance and grow the economy of the province.

“People do not join political parties on impulse, they look at a party’s track record, its leadership and its potential to govern. In all of these aspects, the IFP has something to be proud of, and new members can hold their heads high and walk tall for having made the right choice by joining the IFP.”

Gwala said that the addition of the new members is an important shift for KZN in particular, which is a province that will be hotly contested in the next national general elections.

“These new members have joined voluntarily because they have confidence in the IFP and regard it as the party that can improve their lives and provide hope for the future. Receiving these high calibre leaders from other political parties proves that the people of KZN regard the IFP as the only party with a future.”

The IFP believes that the ANC has reached its sell-by date and KZN is in dire need of competent leadership.

“The IFP’s message to the people of KZN is one of hope and that it has a bright future. Our 10-point plan manifesto, which we rolled out for the 2021 local government elections and that can change municipal governance throughout South Africa has yielded positive results and has resonated with communities. In addition, the IFP’s no-nonsense approach towards fraud and corruption continues to gain momentum. This provides a clear sense that the IFP will rid government of the rotten potatoes.”
