IFP says will prioritise skills development for women, young people

Hlabisa says the party will ensure that all its election promises are implemented.

The IFP, led by President Velenkosini Hlabisa, has announced its commitment to prioritise skills development for women and young people should they be elected into power. This pledge was made during the party's provincial manifesto launch in Limpopo, where Hlabisa addressed supporters and members. The IFP's platform for the upcoming November 2026 local government elections includes a strong focus on job creation, improved service delivery, and the fight against corruption.

The party's manifesto launch series will continue in North West and KwaZulu-Natal, with Hlabisa assuring that all election promises will be implemented. He emphasized the importance of mentorship, supporting youth and women in accessing markets and appropriate support, as well as providing local farmers with necessary equipment.
