IFP Salutes Men on International Men's Day


19th November 2009

The Inkatha Freedom Party has called on men to show moral leadership in their families and the society. The party said this in a statement issued today in support of the International Men's Day, which is reportedly recognised for the first time in South Africa. Dr Bonginkosi Buthelezi, IFP MPL and Leader of Opposition said:

"On this International Men's Day, the IFP wishes to salute all men of KwaZulu-Natal, especially those who have toiled ceaselessly for their families and their loved ones. We also urge all men to continue being shining lights by showing moral leadership in society; because more than ever before, society calls on men to provide leadership and ensure the eradication of all forms of abuse which plague our Province.

"Lastly we want to call on the government to actively support programs meant to highlight the importance of the International Men's Day so as to recognise men of integrity who give all for their families and country."
