Urgent Appeal for Calm in KwaZulu-Natal

The situation in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) is critical, and the future of our province hangs in the balance.

The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) has called for calm during these uncertain times. Recently, the IFP confirmed its participation in the Government of National Unity (GNU), alongside the ANC and the Democratic Alliance (DA). While the IFP expresses confidence in securing KZN, negotiations with the DA and the National Freedom Party (NFP) are ongoing, and the NFP’s confirmation is still pending.

Thami Ntuli, the IFP’s KZN Premier candidate, emphasizes that their actions are in the best interests of all South Africans. He urges us to move forward as a nation, leaving behind the dark history of political violence. Let us build our future on a foundation of peace and democracy. Trust the process, remain calm, and work together for a better KZN.

Despite being excluded from the GNU, the uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MK) remains steadfast. MK insiders believe they can still make an impact in KZN, even in the face of IFP’s statements.

As the eleventh hour approaches, negotiations continue, and positions are being secured. The IFP has revealed its cards, but the real power lies with the NFP—a kingmaker with just one seat.
