The Inkatha Freedom Party has advocated for the death penalty to defuse femicide, gruesome killings and violent crimes.
Its president Velenkosi Hlabisa said this when launching IFP's manifesto at the iconic Moses Mabhida Stadium which was wholly capacitated.
IFP’s 13-point manifesto unveiled by Hlabisa promised to remove corruption and crime, preserve the spaza shop economy for South Africans, monitoring and regulating the influx of foreign nationals, and prioritising the country’s citizens by creating jobs for them.
IFP will contest the elections for the first time without its late founder and leader Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi. The party also didn’t have its national elective conference despite promising South Africans that they will be subjected to the land of milk and honey should they win the elections and oust the ANC administration led by President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Hlabisa also took a swipe at Ramaphosa’s cabinet labelling it a “bloated cabinet” with useless deputy ministers which are milking the State purse for doing nothing. He said the money wasted on deputy ministers could be used to give unemployed graduates R3 000 grants until they get employment.
“The IFP will roll out free basic education while reforming NSFAS so that it delivers on its mandate of empowering the youth…The IFP will roll out an Unemployed Graduate Grant of R3 000 for a fixed period, to assist graduates to find meaningful employment,” Hlabisa said.
As expected, the IFP like any other party promised to end rolling blackouts in the country and revitalize Eskom performance and diversify the sector.
