ROAD TO 2024 ELECTIONS

 Calls To Action Against Poverty, Corruption and Crime.

Thousands of Inkatha Freedom Party supporters filled up Moses Mabhida Stadium to hear the party launch it 2024 election manifesto on Sunday. The party's 13-point plan emphasizes tackling immigration challenges and reserving jobs for South Africans.

The launch of IFP election manifesto on Sunday 10 March 2024 saw party president Velenkosini Hlabisa unveil the party's 13-point plan, which it says would give South Africans hope and secue the country from poverty, unemployment, rampant corruption, a stagnant economy and high levels of crime and criminality.

IFP national spokesperson Mkhuleko Hlengwa, who was the MC at the event, said his party had disappointed doomsayers by filling the Stadium to capacity.

The highlight for the day was the IFP helicopter hovering over the Stadium with a giant IFP flag featuring over the stadium with a IFP founder Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi and a smaller one of Hlabisa. That and T-shirts worn by IFP supporters with the slogan ''Do it for Shenge" underscored the fact that the IFP is relying heavily on the appeal of its founder to draw support.

Prince Zuzile Buthelezi, the late founder's son, who succeeded him as the Inkosi of the Buthelezi clan, said his family was still fully behind the IFP and was happy that the party was keeping his father's legacy alive.

''So, I urge you all to go out in your numbers and vote, cast your vote next to the IFP''
