IFP condemns violence in KwaZulu-Natal
10 July 2021
As the Official Opposition in KwaZulu-Natal, the IFP is extremely perturbed by the violence and chaos that rocked KwaZulu-Natal yesterday and overnight.
While we understand some may feel aggrieved over the sentencing of the former President, we cannot condone chaos, the destruction of property, putting lives at risk, or economic sabotage.
Our constitutional right to protest comes with responsibilities, which must be respected.
Furthermore, we take very seriously a baseless allegation from a former ANC Premier and former Cope leader, that resorting to violence is an IFP strategy that was somehow transplanted to the ANC when they recruited IFP members in 2008/2009.
