7th December 2009

As representatives of the people, IFP MP's and MPL's will be holding a series of report back sessions to their constituents and interested members of the public. The first phase of the programme will begin on Thursday the 10th December 2009 at 10h00, in which the IFP will hold four (4) report back sessions simultaneously. Future dates will be announced in due course. 

The programme will begin with a brief report back by MP's and MPL's on their activities during the 2009 first session of parliament. This will be followed by an opportunity for participants to convey to IFP members of parliament concerns and issues which they desire to be raised during the next session of parliament, both provincially and nationally. 

Mr Thulasizwe Buthelezi, MPL and IFP Deputy National Spokesperson, said:

'We are excited at this opportunity to report back to the people who voted for the IFP and members of the public on what we have already achieved on their behalf in our parliamentary work. But even more exciting is the opportunity to get a renewed mandate on the issues we should raise in the next sitting of parliament. ' 

'Both IFP members and members of the public should feel free to express themselves on any issue. This is an open meeting and we take the public's concerns and issues very seriously,' concluded Thulasizwe.
