In a powerful display of political unity, the Democratic Alliance (DA) joined the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) in celebrating its 50th anniversary at a packed Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi Stadium in Ulundi, KwaZulu-Natal. Thousands of supporters filled the venue, honoring the legacy of the IFP’s late founder, Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi.
DA KwaZulu-Natal chairperson, Dean Macpherson, emphasized the deep-rooted partnership between the two parties, stating, “The DA is proud to stand alongside the IFP as they mark this milestone. Our collaboration has spanned decades, and we look forward to strengthening our work in the Government of Unity.”
This alliance isn’t just ceremonial—it’s shaping governance in key municipalities, including uMhlathuze, a vital economic hub. As both parties navigate the complex landscape of South African politics, their cooperation signals a potential shift in the province’s power dynamics.
With the IFP celebrating its rich history and the DA reaffirming its commitment, the question remains: Could this growing alliance redefine KwaZulu-Natal’s political future?
