IFP in Mtubatuba confident of upcoming by-elections
With the by-elections around the corner, political parties say they are confident their hard work will result in victory in the various wards.
Ward 10 in the troubled Mtubatuba Municipality in northern-KZN is one of the hotly contested wards.
The IFP has previously held the ward but their councillor died towards the end of last year resulting in it being a vacant ward.
Last week, IFP president, Velenkosini Hlabisi embarked on a door-to-door campaign in the area.
Member of the ANC's National Executive Committee, Jackson Mthembu also visited the ward and embarked on a campaign recently.
IFP Constituency Secretary, Musa Nxumalo.
"According to the work done so far, we are confident that we are going to make it in ward 10. The response of the people shows the positive commitment."

12 wards across nine municipalities are set to hold by-elections in KZN on Wednesday.
Last month, KZN Cooperative Governance MEC Sipho Hlomuka warned Mtubatuba councillors to put their differences aside and focus on service delivery.
This council is also one of nine in the province that is currently under administration.
The move came after a forensic report revealed issues of poor governance as well as fraud and corruption.
