IFP says it will prioritise water shortages after elections
Hlengwa says the IFP will be going back to basics with regard to its manifesto for the 2026.
The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) plans to prioritize water shortages in metropolitan areas like Ethekwini and Johannesburg following the November 4 municipal elections. The party is set to unveil its manifesto at the Princess Magogo Stadium in Kwamashu, north of Durban, this Sunday. Mkhuleko Hlengwa, the national spokesperson and Ethekwini mayoral candidate, emphasizes the importance of addressing ageing infrastructure and corruption in the water tanker industry.
The IFP aims to install cameras on municipal water tankers and explore hybrid models for water rollout, including the construction of boreholes. IFP deputy mayoral candidate for eThekwini opposes privatizing municipal services, stating that the party will focus on its service delivery track record and expand its vision to new areas.
