(The Post News)- On May 26, the Inkhatha Freedom Party (IFP) hosted their “Sizoqoba” Final Rally at the Umhlathuze Sports Complex stadium in Richards Bay. The rally aimed to gain support from its followers by promising to bring about change in South Africa. “Sizoqoba” translates to “we will conquer” or “we will win,” emphasizing the party’s determination and confidence.

As preparations for the general elections are closing in, political parties in sizes, names and colours are trying all they can to win votes.

The cultural liberation party urged followers to trust them because they would fix the struggle of South African people as their hope is in partnership of trust.

IFP President Velenkosi Hlabisa emphasized their commitment to tackling the challenges faced by South Africans. They aim to earn people’s trust by focusing on job creation, reducing data costs for online job applications, and increasing social grants for the elderly, unemployment benefits, and child support if they win the elections.

Hlabisa continued to say that the ANC party has played with people.

Making reference to the newly signed bill, Hlabisa said, for instance, that President Cyril Ramaphosa has signed the NHI bill, but it is like “the cone that has nothing inside,” meaning that people still do not have access to private hospitals.

The IFP took its stances in universal healthcare access to all people of South Africa, if they were given the role of leading the country, they would make sure all people in the country get medical assistance that is professional for all citizens. They will train and employ nurses and doctors also enough machines to heal all diseases that are life-threatening such as cancer patients who wait for a long time to be transmitted to private hospitals which are far from where they live.

The IFP stands firm on its commitment to ensure that every citizen of South Africa has access to universal healthcare. If entrusted with leadership, they promise to provide professional medical assistance to all individuals, including adequate training and employment opportunities for nurses and doctors. They also pledge to equip medical facilities with the necessary tools to effectively treat life-threatening illnesses such as cancer.

Furthermore, the IFP intends to engage with taxi business owners to address challenges related to routes and provide support for their businesses, which predominantly serve black communities. They also prioritize the maintenance of both tarred and gravel roads to enhance service delivery and generate employment opportunities within the economy.

Princess Phumzile Buthelezi, head of the youth brigade, urged IFP followers to cast their votes for the party as soon as voting begins on May 27. She emphasized the party’s stance on issues such as the freedom of abortion, violence against women and children, and same-sex marriage, advocating for these practices to be made illegal. She stated that the IFP, as a party of believers, is weary of addressing these cases and seeks to bring about change.

Having experienced major growth in various regions over the past thirty years of democracy, the IFP is no stranger to the ballot. With their strong track record and growing support, they are optimistic about their chances of victory in the upcoming election.
