YOUR VOICE MATTERS
The future is in your hands
OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU TO reBUILD SOUTH AFRICA.
In our free democratic society, our votes determine our future. This election will be the most crucial election since the dawn of our democracy. Our country stands on
the brink of becoming a failed State. Therefore, this election will have a far-reaching impact, affecting
this generation and beyond.
At this critical juncture, where our collective future is at stake, the IFP asks you to partner with us to secure the best possible future. We enter this election believing it is time to put South Africans first.
The IFP believes that there is no secure future for one segment of society while another remains disempowered. There is no urban future that excludes rural communities. Our common destiny demands a high degree of common purpose. The IFP considers ubuntu/botho the foundation of our future prosperity.
We go into this election drawing on the great legacy of our Founder, the late Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi. Our Founder lived his life in the service of our nation. He believed in practical measures that empower South Africans towards self-help and self-reliance.
As a democrat, Prince Buthelezi was committed to leading with integrity and truly serving. That commitment remains the fundamental mission of the IFP. We are therefore not promising you anything that we cannot deliver.
To fund our programmes, we will embark on a robust restructuring of the economy and the fiscus. We will cut Government Ministries and their lavish spending. We will enter into public-private partnerships for failing State-Owned Enterprises, instead of bailing them out. We will root out corruption and wasteful expenditure and end the inexcusable practice of underspending which leads to the return of funds to the fiscus. We will use every cent of taxpayer monies, wisely.
We make this commitment to you, because IFP leaders and representatives are servants of the people. The IFP believes you deserve a government that serves you with integrity; a government you can trust.
