DescriptionThe mainly Zulu Inkatha Freedom Party has left South Africa's cabinet after its leader was sacked by President Thabo Mbeki. Mangosuthu Buthelezi's 10-year stint as home affairs minister was ended after the IFP and Mr Mbeki's African National Congress fought a fierce campaign. The two IFP members who were named in the cabinet did not attend Thursday's swearing-in ceremony. In the 1990s, clashes between the ANC and the IFP left thousands dead. The violence was ended when the IFP agreed to serve in a national unity government after the end of apartheid.
