Does The IFP Support Zuma?
A month ago we wrote about an article that seemed to imply that the IFP were implicitly supporting Zuma. After all the IFP are Zulu nationalists and Zuma’s rhetoric (100% Zuluboy!) is leaning more and more in that direction especially when he speaks in KwaZulu-Natal. However IFP leader Mongesuthu Buthelezi has come out strongly against JZ’s band of court supporters calling their attacks on Mbeki ‘despicable’
Despite my political differences – and they are wide – with the president, I feel it is incumbent upon me to, once again, emphasise that Mr Mbeki is the first citizen of South Africa, and should be accorded the respect and dignity his sacred office deems.
Well that kind of throws a spanner in the works of the IFP-supports-Zuma conspiracy, although perhaps Gatsha is planting some disinformation to confuse everyone. It’s really getting hard to keep track of who is supporting who in this thing.
