So long as the Zulu people are here, clearly I will still have a role to play in this country.

We are here because we are determined to offer the people of the Western Cape choices which are long overdue.

The IFP is here to put into practice what we preach.

The IFP does not play these political games of power and patronage, which are known to be part and parcel of the politics of the Western Cape.

I rejected the armed struggle because, as a Christian, I am committed to a nonviolent and peaceful struggle. But people take their own initiatives, because it is a Lebanon type of situation here.

Clearly you need a new team to go out to bat on your behalf; to fight for your rights and to report back to you personally and to the leadership of the IFP.
