Building a National Consensus
– Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi's Weekly Newsletter to the Nation
...The biggest achievement, in a week when we celebrate Human Rights Day, has been the inculcation of a human rights-based culture amongst our citizenry; one which forcibly speaks out against violence against women and children. The most visible manifestation of this culture in practice was the incensed response from our media condemning the brutal crackdown against the opposition in neighbouring Zimbabwe.

As the IFP, we believe that President Ramaphosa jumped the gun by filing an application with the Court, as he would still have had an opportunity to challenge the findings of the Section 89 Report as part of the parliamentary process. We further do not agree with the approach taken by his legal team, in challenging individual panellists, as the Report is the product of a parliamentary process. We therefore expect the Speaker to file an opposing affidavit. ![]()
![]()
We trust that ANC MPs will use their discretion as Members of Parliament next week and vote in support of the Report – not against it as media reports indicate the ANC NEC has instructed. ![]()
![]()
The IFP will continue to support any measures that foster accountability and hold the Executive to account – without fear or favour. ![]()
