  "account": "The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) has announced its plans to deport all undocumented foreign nationals in the municipality of eThekwini, should it secure control in the upcoming November elections. Immigration ranks high on the IFP's election manifesto priorities for eThekwini, unveiled in Durban on Sunday. Mkhuleko Hlengwa, the IFP's mayoral candidate for eThekwini, stated that the party will pursue this deportation process through intergovernmental relations, aiming to ensure that eThekwini benefits the residents and South Africans. IFP President Velenkosini Hlabisa emphasized the need for harsher penalties and a collective effort in combating issues such as women abuse and femicide. He urged party members to spread the message of protecting women during their electoral campaigns. Hlabisa urged voters in eThekwini to grant the IFP a mandate to govern and deliver on its promises.",
