Hlabisa: IFP surpassing long-term targets - expects to lead new KZN govt after Election’24

While Jacob Zuma’s recently launched MK Party has drawn a lot of airtime, at the coalface the IFP is confident of continuing a resurgence reflected in its 15-1 winning record against the ANC in post November 2021 by-elections. Leader Velenkosini Hlabisa says another pointer to a superior performance in Election’24 is comparing crowds drawn in election launches at Durban’s Moses Mabhida stadium where his party “took the trophy” with a significantly larger turnout than the other parties. Having planned thoroughly for the 2024 election over many years, and for the first time running campaigns in all nine provinces, the IFP leader is sure that his party is will be the big surprise when the votes are counted. He spoke to BizNews editor Alec Hogg.
