Knives out for IFP’s Hlabisa | Witness

Opponents of IFP president Velenkosini Hlabisa are calling for his suspension over the issue of party members who continue to wear T-shirts bearing his face instead of that of the organisation’s founder, Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi.

“It’s not only his people who are defying the resolution; there are even photographs showing him mingling with people wearing T-shirts bearing his face. In those photographs, even Hlabisa is wearing a T-shirt bearing his own face. I can confirm that the matter of Hlabisa’s suspension is still on the table as the previous national council meeting resolved that it should be finalised at the next meeting, which has not yet taken place,” a member of the IFP national council said.

While IFP secretary-general Siphosethu Ngcobo confirmed that the party was investigating the T-shirt matter, he could not say whether Hlabisa was one of the IFP members who was being investigated.The matter is still under investigation, and I can’t be releasing information on the investigation piecemeal. As we speak, I continue receiving affidavits from IFP members, not only here in KZN, but also in Gauteng and other provinces.

However, his detractors within the IFP are pushing for the party’s provincial chairperson, Thami Ntuli to be elected as premier in the event of the IFP and its alliance partner — the DA — being able to collectively garner more than 50% of the vote in next year’s polls.
