HEADS MUST ROLL OVER DEATH THREATS AGAINST KZN PREMIER THAMI NTULI
CHANON LECODEY MERRICKS ONLINE_EDITOR
The Inkatha Freedom Party in the KwaZulu-Natal Legislature condemns in the strongest possible terms the vile and dangerous death threats directed at the KwaZulu-Natal Premier, Honourable Thami Ntuli, which are circulating openly on social media and explicitly calling for the Premier’s death. This constitutes a reckless incitement to violence and a direct attack on democratic governance.
It is deeply concerning that these threats have emerged at a time when the Honourable Premier is receiving widespread praise across South Africa, following KwaZulu-Natal’s achievement of first place nationally in the matric results. This performance reflects decisive leadership, accountability, and a commitment to excellence in governance, raising serious questions about the motivation behind these threats.
It is evident that the Honourable Premier has become a stumbling block to those with an insatiable appetite for embezzling public funds under the guise of service delivery. His firm stance against corruption and maladministration has made him a target for individuals who fear accountability. We firmly believe that the only so-called ‘sin’ of the Honourable Premier is that he is a hardworking leader who delivers results and upholds integrity.
Let it be made absolutely clear: threats of this nature are not political statements or expressions of opinion. They are criminal acts.
Any individual who issues or amplifies death threats against an elected leader must know that they will be identified, investigated, and held fully accountable under the law. There will be zero tolerance for political intimidation or calls for violence in a constitutional democracy.
The IFP will not accept complacency or silence.
These threats place the life of the Honourable Premier at risk and undermine the rule of law.
We therefore call for an urgent, impartial, and comprehensive investigation by the relevant law enforcement and security authorities. In addition, the IFP will also conduct its own investigation and has opened a criminal case to ensure that this matter receives the attention it deserves. Heads must roll in this matter. The Premier must receive the highest level of protection from the State.
Those responsible must be found and made to answer for their actions, including disclosing who instructed, encouraged, or supported these dangerous utterances. There must be real consequences. The IFP therefore issues a clear warning to all those who believe they can issue death threats with impunity: you will be pursued, exposed, and held accountable.
The Honourable Premier will not be intimidated, and political violence will not be allowed to take root in KwaZulu-Natal.
