The IFP Youth Brigade (IFPYB) has condemned the illegal demonstration staged today at the party's head office in Ulundi by a group of youths incited by members of the IFPYB's KwaZulu Natal Provincial Executive Committee.
"The IFP has repeatedly invited disaffected youth members to voice their concerns inside the party before taking them to the media but to no avail. The disaffected group's contempt for the party leadership culminated today when it turned down an opportunity to present its grievances to the IFP's National Council," said Acting IFPYB Chairperson Pat Lebenya-Ntanzi.
The IFPYB regrets that the youths in question instead chose to defy party discipline further by inciting an illegal demonstration outside of the party's head office in Ulundi which hosted a special meeting of the IFP National Council convened to hear these youths out. "The IFP KwaZulu Natal Provincial Executive Committee had little choice but to suspend their party membership," said Lebenya-Ntanzi.
The IFPYB contends that the behaviour of those in the IFPYB KwaZulu Natal Provincial Executive who stood behind today's illegal demonstration was in conflict with the party's values. "The success of every political party stands on internal cohesion of views. The IFP offers ample platforms for discussion and legitimate criticism. What we will not tolerate, however, are ill-disciplined members who bring the youth wing and the party into disrepute," said Lebenya-Ntanzi.
