The IFP Youth Brigade has called upon the IFP to continue its dynamic tradition of appointing youth as mayors.

"The IFP has fielded thousands of youth as candidates for the upcoming local government elections. The IFP Youth Brigade has gone on an all-out offensive to ensure that the IFP retains all currently lFP-held municipalities and further wins all the wards it is contesting. As such the Youth Brigade has mobilised the young people of this country to deliver a resounding IFP victory on March 1," IFPYB National Chairperson Thulasizwe Buthelezi said.

"We further assert the Youth Brigade's readiness, willingness and capability to serve at the highest level of local government after the IFP's victory on March 1. For the past five years the youth has championed the IFP's vision of caring and efficient local government by being at the coalface of service, delivery and community development. We call on the IFP to appoint youth as District and Local Mayors to accelerate the IFP's record of delivery," Thulasizwe concluded.
