IFP: Remove ANC from power
21/08/2008 19:04 - (SA)
Johannesburg - The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) on Thursday made a call for the African National Congress (ANC) to be removed from power.
This came after the Sea Cow Lake mini-substation, south of Durban, was vandalised last week.
The criminals allegedly left a note threatening similar acts until all communities were provided with electricity.
"This criminal behaviour serves to give more weight to the ever-growing ground swell calling for the IFP to take over government and provide leadership and answers to plight of the majority," eThekwini IFP spokesperson Joshua Mazibuko said.
He also vowed that when the IFP took over, the party would be "tough" on crime.
"These acts of vandalism were equally an indictment against the ANC government for it has failed for fourteen years to effectively banish poverty and hunger," said Mazibuko.
The vandalising of substations deprived innocent citizens of electricity and was an act against ubuntu/botho (humanity), he said.
"The news of criminals who have threatened more sabotage of substations should shame both the ANC and the involved criminals," Mazibuko said.
Mazibuko called on the community to expose the criminals so that they could be brought to book.
