With just a few months before the general elections, the Inkatha Freedom Party has been dealt a blow with the death of one of its Provincial leaders, Ms Nompumelelo Junerose Hadebe, aged 39, who passed away on the 11th November after a long illness. Ms Hadebe was one of the pillars of the IFP within the Sisonke District Municipality and was a Member of the Provincial Executive Committee of the IFP Women's Brigade. She will be buried tomorrow after a funeral service scheduled to begin at 09h00 at Jolivet in eXobho.  

Conveying condolences on behalf of the IFP, Provincial Chairperson of the Women's Brigade, Ms Bonisiwe Mtshali said: "Comrade Mpume Hadebe's passing away has dealt us a major blow. She was a dedicated and loyal leader to whom no sacrifice was too great for the party. Our hearts as the Provincial Committee of the Women's Brigade, go out to the Hadebe family, the people of Sisonke and to all our Comrades. Let Mpume's departure spur us to work even harder to ensure the realization of what was her dream, which was to rescue KwaZulu-Natal from the chains of empty rhetoric, fruitless political showmanship and unfulfilled promises and the squandering of public funds, which are the hallmark of the ANC government."
