Local Government elections were held in may 1996 in KwaZulu/Natal province which the IFP is contesting. The IFP has the majority in the provincial legislature in this province.
The IFP party flag is as shown - seven horizontal stripes of red, white, black, green, yellow, white and red. There are two variants of this flag:
- all stripes are equal in width
- the red and white stripes are one sixth of the width of the flag and the black, green and yellow stripes each one ninth the width of the flag. This is the design registered at the Bureau of Heraldry.
Correct proportions are 2:3 for both.
The flag is a party political flag and is NOT the flag of the
province or of the "Zulu people". The badge of the party is shown with
the party colours (used in the flag) making up the letters IFP in the
background.

Notice the middle three stripes are the same as the ANC indicating
their earlier alliance!
