IFP PRESS STATEMENT BY: 
Mr Albert Mncwango
IFP National Organiser

5th August 2008
 

The IFP National Organiser, Mr Albert Mncwango announced that Ulundi will be the next stop on the IFP's listening programme. It will take place on Friday, 8th August 2008 at the Multi-Purpose Hall in Ulundi and will begin at 13h00. 

IFP National Chairperson, Mrs Zanele kaMagwaza-Msibi, Deputy National Chairperson Mr Velaphi Ndlovu, as well as the acting Chairperson of the Youth Brigade, Mrs Pat Lebenya-Ntanzi, will be there to listen to the concerns of the people of Ulundi. 

Mr Mncwango said: 

'Even though Ulundi is considered to be an IFP stronghold, we believe it is important that we provide the people who live there an opportunity to share their concerns and hopes for the future with us.  The IFP does not take its supporters for granted and we believe that we will learn much from listening to what some members of our core constituency have to say.' 

'We are excited to be going to Ulundi, especially after our successful hearing in QwaQwa last weekend. We are going there to listen to the people and not to give long speeches. Once we have heard what they have to say we will include it into our party policy formulation process which will culminate in a policy conference in January 2009.' 

'We have been very impressed with the contributions made at all our hearings so far, as we have travelled from Gauteng to KwaZulu-Natal to Mpumalanga and to QwaQwa. The Eastern Cape (Umtata) will follow Ulundi,' concluded Mr Mncwango. 

All media are invited to attend.
