The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) has called on Parliament to urgently improve the protection of its members. This follows the killing of IFP MP Sanele Zondo, who was shot dead in KwaZulu-Natal last week. The party has expressed deep concern over the safety of its representatives and is urging for immediate action to prevent further tragedies.
In a statement, the IFP emphasized the need for comprehensive security measures, including risk assessments and personal protection for MPs who may be under threat. The party also called for a review of existing protocols to identify and address any gaps in the current system.
Parliament has acknowledged the IFP’s concerns and has indicated that discussions are underway to evaluate and enhance the safety measures in place for all Members of Parliament. The tragic incident has sparked a broader conversation about the security of public officials and the measures necessary to safeguard them.
