The IFP has confirmed two of its ward councillors have been expelled in KZN.

JOHANNESBURG - The Inkatha Freedom party (IFP) has confirmed two of its ward councillors have been expelled in KwaZulu-Natal for going against a party resolution to vote with the Democratic Alliance (DA) and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).

Nyanga Ndlangamandla and Duduzile Masondo were sworn in as councillors in the eDumbe Municipality yesterday.

However, the party says the two will now be removed from their positions after voting in favour of the African National Congress (ANC).

The eDumbe Municipality is one of six in KwaZulu-Natal where no party held an outright majority.

The IFP's Joshua Mazibuko says, "They decided against the party by deciding to vote with the ANC in eDumbe instead of abiding by the resolution that as a party we were going to work with the DA and the EFF. So, automatically they're no longer members of the IFP."
