The IFP's Secretary-General, Rev Musa Zondi, will on Thursday present a dossier to the media on police brutality that has been committed by the SAPS' Special Intervention Unit in Nongoma.

The IFP has strongly condemned what it sees as a series of systematic and well-orchestrated acts of brutality committed by the SAPS at the command of the ANC.

It has become very clear that the police are on a mission to destabilise the IFP's election campaign and that the people of Nongoma have been subjected to police torture for no reason other than their political affiliation to the IFP.

The IFP will present evidence of countless instances where members of the public have been harassed, mothers and children brutally beaten and property destroyed.

Details of the press conference are as follows:

Date: Thursday, 2 April 2009

Time: 11h00

Venue: Multipurpose Hall, Nongoma

ALL MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA ARE INVITED TO ATTEND AND TRANSPORT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ALL JOURNALISTS.

Members of the media who want to make use of the transport must RSVP to liezl@ifp.co.za by midday on Wednesday, 01 April 2009.
