Political tension on the rise in KZN Midlands

[dArKeR]

The African National Congress in KwaZulu-Natal is to lay charges of intimidation against the Inkatha Freedom Party and complain to the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) following two alleged incidents in the Midlands on Tuesday.

In a statement, the ANC in the province said it was extremely concerned about the behaviour of IFP members, who, it said, had disrupted ANC election campaigns.

"A mob of about 50 people wearing IFP T-shirts blocked about 50 cars of ANC leadership (most of them MPs and MPLs) from entering Wembezi Township's C section.

"The ANC leadership was told in no uncertain terms that they were not welcome in the area. On assessing the situation, the ANC then decided to move the campaign to another section of the township," the statement said.
