The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) has closed its doors to any coalition with the African National Congress (ANC) and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF). It said that the governing party was responsible for the country’s failures, and accused the EFF of political flip-flopping.
The IFP held a media briefing on coalitions on Monday after the EFF recently cut ties with the party. With the IFP no longer in a relationship with the EFF, the party would need the support of other parties in eight municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal.
The IFP remained adamant that it would never approach the governing party for support, not even in the eight municipalities previously supported by an EFF coalition. IFP leader Velenkosini Hlabisa that the IFP had shut its doors for good when it came to the red berets.
