IFP snubs ANC merger

A mainly Zulu opposition party has rejected South African President Jacob Zuma's offer to merge with his governing African National Congress.

The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) and the ANC have been arch-rivals for more than three decades.

The IFP has long dominated Mr Zuma's home province of Kwa-Zulu Natal but lost power there in the April elections after which Mr Zuma became president.

Either the ANC is worried about the next election, or the ANC is worried about the next election and their 2/3rds majority?

Expect a few more surprise offers for merging I think
