Hlabisa says mature leadership key to successful coalition govts
The uMhlathuze Municipality is governed through a coalition government led by the IFP
Inkatha Freedom Party President Velenkosini Hlabisa has asserted that mature leadership is crucial for the success of coalition governments. While addressing an IFP rally at Esikhawini stadium near Richards Bay, Hlabisa emphasized that mature leadership is essential to ensure stability and make decisions that enhance service delivery. The uMhlathuze Municipality, governed through a coalition government led by the IFP, serves as a prime example of how a well-managed coalition can function effectively.
As South Africans prepare for the upcoming local government elections (LGE 2026), Hlabisa called on voters to support the IFP and praised the peaceful conduct of political parties during the election campaign. He stressed that South Africa has witnessed coalition governments weakening service delivery, but Umhlathuze is a testament to the potential for success when mature individuals lead such governments.
Hlabisa's message highlights the importance of experienced leadership in maintaining unity and achieving positive outcomes in coalition governments.
