'We have learnt from our mistakes': NFP
The NFP says it’s learnt from past mistakes and is working hard to forge unity within the party.
The party held its Sibuyile rally in KwaDukuka at the weekend - after a tumultuous few months that saw it being disqualified from the municipal elections.
Speaking to journalists outside the Chris Hani Community Hall where the rally took place, provincial chairperson Vikizitha Mlotshwa said they want to move on from the squabbles within the party.
He says one of their key focuses now is unity - ahead of the 2019 national elections.
"Forget about those who resigned and those who are being suspended because those were members, so therefore the NFP is not those members but the NFP are all membership that you see here. Then you are looking forward, we cannot waste our time by looking back," he said.
The party was disqualified from competing in the August 3rd local government elections - after it failed to meet the IEC's deadline to pay the parties registration fee in July.
National treasurer Xolani Ndlovu was expelled earlier this month, following a disciplinary hearing for failing to meet the IEC deadline.
