IFP: DA attempt to quash plurality of voices unacceptable
20 October 2021
The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) has taken note of the utterances and posters by the Democratic Alliance (DA), calling on South Africans not to vote for smaller parties and, as they claim, “throw away their vote”.
As the IFP, we would like to call out the DA for these arrogant claims and remind them of our Constitution, which calls for a plurality of voices, as well as unity in diversity. We would also like to remind the DA that they themselves often rely on smaller parties for support in areas where they govern in coalitions.
Further, we would like to say to the electorate: don’t throw away your vote on a party that is fast losing support and credibility.
We invite voters to invest their vote where it will deliver results - with the IFP - on 1 November 2021.
