Two EFF councillors among 155 members of various parties who join IFP
The IFP in KwaZulu-Natal announced on Tuesday that former EFF councillors, Bongimpilo Nhlengethwa and Zanele Nzuza, were among 155 members of various parties who joined it.
According to the IFP, 40 ANC members, 30 from the EFF, 37 from the Abantu Batho Congress, and 48 from ActionSA recently joined the party, leading to "exponential growth in its membership".
The red berets expelled Nhlengethwa, who served as the EFF's PR councillor in the AbaQulusi Local Municipality, on Monday, citing "serious allegations of corruption and conspiring against the EFF".
According to the party, Nhlengethwa was leading an operation, allegedly sanctioned by Zululand District Municipality Mayor Thulasizwe Buthelezi, to get EFF members in Zululand to resign from organisational responsibilities and positions and take up government positions in an effort to weaken the EFF and fight its kingmaker status.
Nzuza was said to have handed in her resignation to the EFF on Tuesday.
IFP KZN chairperson Thami Ntuli announced the recent additions at a press conference at Durban Manor Hotel.
Ntuli said the IFP in KZN was pleased by the "exponential growth" in its membership, particularly in the first months of 2023. Read More…
