The party’s youth wing said it wanted more young people to form part of the party.

"The Prince of KwaPhindangene believed that young people should go to school, young people should get opportunities, young people should obtain strategic positions," said the IFP’s Youth Brigade KwaZulu-Natal chairperson, Mncedisi Maphisa.

Maphisa added that they wanted young people to safeguard their late leader’s legacy.

"As we are celebrating 50 years, we know that there is a huge task at stake. One of it is to protect his legacy. But secondly, we must make sure that wherever we are leading and representing young people, we must do so with integrity and make sure people get fair opportunities."
