The Inkatha Freedom Party in KwaZulu-Natal views the actions of the MEC for Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA), Nomsa Dube-Ncube as interference in democratic after she dissolved the Nquthu municipality and meddled unduly in the Abaqulusi and Jozini Municipalities.
“After the recent local government elections, the processes of establishing functional municipal councils are being frustrated and subverted by MEC Dube-Ncube. In seeking to establish ANC hegemony in places like Jozini and Abaqulusi she is frustrating democracy by using her office to interfere in areas where the IFP has the potential to take control and deliver services to those communities. As a result of her actions she is depriving people of municipal services. The MEC is abusing her authority through undue interference. We want to remind the people in those municipalities that it is the ANC that is preventing the IFP from providing them with the services that they deserve”, said IFP National Chairman, Mr Blessed Gwala MPL.
