The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) welcomes the food safety measures and interventions as announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa on November 15, 2024.
The IFP commends the GNU’s commitment to prioritising the health and well-being of South Africans, addressing concerns around food contamination and safety.
These proactive steps prioritise the health and well-being of South Africans, addressing concerns around food contamination and safety.
Furthermore, these measures are consistent with the interventions and by-law enablers released by the Minister of COGTA, Hon Velenkosini Hlabisa MP, earlier this week.
We commend the GNU’s commitment to safeguarding citizens and promoting a secure food environment, and we will remain vigilant and proactive in implementing these recommendations.
This move aligns with the IFP’s people-first approach and our manifesto’s emphasis on public health and safety.
We look forward to collaborating on implementing these measures, ensuring a safer, healthier South Africa for all.
The IFP calls on the law enforcement agencies to move with speed to ensure the comprehensive implementation and adherence with these measures.
The IFP extends its sincerest condolences to the families and friends of the 22 children we have lost as a Nation due to food contamination.
