IFP calls on parties to honour election pledge

Inkatha Freedom Party has called on all political parties to honour their election pledge not to incite violence.

This was after two of its members were shot and killed in uMtshezi.

“If other political parties fail to honour their political pledge they will be making a mockery of our democracy. We’ve all got responsibility to conduct ourselves in a responsible and lawful manner and not incite violence,”said the IFP National Chairperson, Mr Blessed Gwala.Mr Gwala also called on the IEC to act on election pledge to stamp out this scourge of killings and intimidation.

The IFP urges political party leaders to call on their leaders at grassroots level and their supporters to uphold and defend the electoral code of conduct.
