The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal renews its demand that Thulasizwe Buthelezi, the IFP’s Cogta (Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs) MEC, be removed. The party accuses him of using his position to target and frustrate other political parties, and says it has escalated the matter to the IFP.
The outlet frames the dispute in sharply critical terms, suggesting strained political relations around KwaZulu-Natal’s provincial governance. The ANC position focuses on alleged misconduct and partisan interference within the department Buthelezi leads, while the IFP is positioned as the party responsible for responding to the call for removal. Across coverage, the central issue is the ANC’s allegation that Buthelezi’s conduct undermines other parties’ ability to operate effectively.
No additional reporting details are provided here beyond the ANC’s renewed call and escalation to the IFP, leaving the broader context and any formal responses from the IFP or provincial authorities unclear.
