The IFP notes that while the ANC has been hurling insults at its political rivals such as Cope because of their internal battles, the ruling Party now too faces a very real chance of a breakdown of its Tripartite Alliance. 

"We have taken note of the most extreme division in the ANC in 50 years, with profound implications for its Tripartite Alliance with the SACP and Cosatu. Even though it is not in the IFP's nature to comment on the internal politics of the ANC, we believe that this imminent split will have serious implications for our country but that it will definitely bode well for the future of South Africa's democracy," said Velaphi Ndlovu, Deputy National Chairperson of the IFP. 

In conclusion Ndlovu said: "We also hope that this has taught the ANC one lesson: not to laugh at its political rivals' misfortunes, because you never know when you might find yourself in a similar situation."
