Madam Deputy Speaker, the IFP recently gained resounding victory in Ward 8, in uPhongolo Municipality, and Ward 5, in uMtshezi Municipality in KwaZulu-Natal. The people in these wards have spoken through their votes and made it clear that they have confidence in the IFP's ability to deliver services without the need to form a coalition in order to gain majority control and undermine the people's wishes to choose their leader.
We congratulate the IFP representatives and call upon them to work with the communities that elected them to reduce crime and unemployment and increase access to health facilities and quality education. [Applause.]
