The IFP National Organiser, Mr Albert Mncwango, today announced the IFP's 33rd Annual General Conference programme.  The Conference will take place from Friday, 22 August until Sunday, 24 August 2008 at the Emandleni Matleng Youth Centre in Ulundi, KwaZulu-Natal.

Mr Mncwango said, "We will be holding our last Annual General Conference before the 2009 elections on the theme 'Honesty, Integrity & Courage - the IFP answer in a time of crisis'.  South Africa needs us now more than ever, our people are tired of promises, lack of delivery, spiralling crime and food costs.  We will gather at Ulundi to discuss how to present ourselves as the only reasonable and viable political party to South Africans who have not yet heard our message of solidarity, freedom and unity in diversity."

"The Conference will start at 19h00 on Friday, 22 August 2008 with the opening address of the IFP President, Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi. This will be followed by reports on the IFP's track record in Local Government."

"On Saturday the Conference will start at 09h00. The National Chairperson, Ms VZ kaMagwaza-Msibi, will welcome delegates and hereafter the IFP President, Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi, will deliver his presidential address to the Conference."

"After lunch on Saturday the Secretary-General, Rev KM Zondi, will present his report to conference.  Hereafter discussion groups will meet, followed by group reports."

"On Sunday the Conference will start at 09h00. Amendments to the Party's constitution will be raised, followed by reports from the IFP's Parliamentary Caucuses and Conference Resolutions. Conference will be closed by the IFP President, Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi," Mr Mncwango concluded.
