Following a KwaZulu Natal Provincial Disciplinary hearing in Durban yesterday, the provincial leadership of the IFP resolved to dismiss two of its Women's Brigade members. 

The two members of the IFP, Ms Bongekile Gwala and Ms Angel Mthembu, brought the party into disrepute when they made false statements to the media during a meeting at the Dalton Hostel in eThekwini on the 09th of August 2010. 

Dr BT Buthelezi MPL, the KZN Provincial Secretary said today: "Apart from dragging the IFP's name through the mud in the media, the two women also gave themselves bogus titles, alleging that they were IFP Women's Brigade leaders, which were false and in contravention of the IFP's Constitution.

The enquiry concluded that their transgressions were of such a serious nature that it warranted their dismal with expulsion from the party with immediate effect," said Dr BT Buthelezi MPL, the IFP's KZN Provincial Secretary.
