FOUR renegade IFP Youth Brigade leaders who were expelled by the party's NEC have vowed to fight their dismissals to the bitter end.

Skhumbuzo Khanyeza, Irvin Barnes, Simphiwe Buthelezi and Hlengiwe Mthiyane were dismissed on Sunday.

This happened after the party's NEC took a decision at the weekend in Ulundi. Their dismissal ended eight weeks of speculation on their futures. But former provincial chairperson Khanyeza vowed yesterday they would not go quietly.

"None of us has received letters of dismissal. But once I receive a detailed letter stating reasons for my expulsion, I will look for loopholes and appeal." - Canaan Mdletshe
