The youth wing of the Inkatha Freedom Party said it was ready to defend the legacy of Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi amid public debate about how he should be remembered.
It is set to be a busy week in Ulundi in northern KwaZulu-Natal in the lead-up to the burial of the late Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi as scores of mourners continue to pay their final respects to the fallen Amazulu traditional minister.
The IFP and its youth brigade have paused their wrangling over a commitment made by the mother body to the multiparty charter, one the latter has rejected.
Senior IFP members believe its Youth Brigade acted hastily in objecting to the Multi-Party Charter coalition agreement, but the youth structure said the agreement goes against party resolution of not getting into any arrangements ahead of the polls.
