Russel Cebekhulu

Russel Cebekhulu is a South African politician who has been an Inkatha Freedom Party Member of Parliament (MP) since 2015 and previously from 2009 to 2014 Quotes I joined the IFP in 1978 when I was still in school. I was mainly influenced by my father. who at the time was working with the IFP. He instilled the IFP philosophy and what the party stood for. By the time I joined the party I was already aware of what it represents and what it aims to achieve. My job mostly involves sitting in committee meetings to deliberate on legislation and matters brought before the committee by government departments and other relevant stakeholders. My job also involves oversight over a government department and to be present at the constituency office to account for the issues that people are facing, and taking them forward to Parliament and to the party, to come up with solutions. Politics and traditional leadership both deal with public administration and basically serving people and dealing with public needs. I joined the Fourth Parliament in 2009 and there have been significant changes since. There has been a lot of chaos, and the energy as a whole is far different. The way members conduct themselves has changed. Previously even when members had different views on certain issues they would still conduct themselves in a respectful and professional manner. Today, what we see happening in Parliament, reflects public unrest and uneasiness even within the majority party. External links Category:Living people
