The new kid on the block The National Freedom Party (NFP), is rising with more and more followers as we are getting closer to the local government elections.
The NFP is a break away party from the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) and is also the brain child of former IFP national chairman, Zanele kaMagwaza-Msibi. kaMagwaza-Msibi served as the mayor of the Zululand District Municipality for over eight years. The party aims to be free from persecution and IFP dictatorship.When kaMagwaza-Msibi left the IFP, she left with a large number of IFP supporters who were in favour of her leadership style.
NFP was launched in February this year at the Curries Fountain Sports Grounds. At the launch kaMagwaza-Msibi talked about the parties 10 step plan to tackle local government problems. The party has only been around for three months but it has managed to get into the heart of the people.

The NFP seems to be more popular amongst the youth as more and more young people have fled from their parties to the warmth of this rising sun. Journalism student Vusimuzi Mkhize said that he will be voting for the NFP in tomorrow's local government elections, because he was not happy with the African National Congress (ANC). "I want to give someone else a chance to try and improve the living standard of my community," said Mkhize.
In KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) the NFP serves as on of the stronger opposition parties for the ANC. This is also where the party has its stronger numbers as the people in this province are more familiar with kaMagwaza here.
As we are only a few hours to elections Vusimuzi Mkhize and other students in his cours are holding their thumbs up for the new party. "I am sure that NFP will win somewhere as the people are tied of empty promises made by their current leadership," said Mkhize.
