Party says disallowing political programmes and activities is undemocratic and irrational

The EFF on Sunday threatened to take the government to court unless the country’s “political space” is reopened.

“To disallow political programmes and activities is therefore undemocratic and irrational, because political parties are not allowed to prepare for elections freely and fairly. Denying political parties to freely campaign for elections is unconstitutional and violates the essence of a democratic order,” the EFF said.

“It is now almost 12 months since SA political spaces have been restricted while government officials continue to engage in programmes that necessitate closer oversight and scrutiny,” the statement said.
