IFP national chairperson Zanele Magwaza-Msibi has once again distanced herself from attempts to nominate her for any other position at the party's elective conference next year.

Breaking her silence after two weeks of a public spat between the party and its three youth factions over who should be elected the party's new leader when Mangosuthu Buthelezi steps down, Magwaza-Msibi said she was saddened to see divisions in the party as a result of calls for her to be nominated party leader.
