Party lawyers indicate that the matter could be heard on Friday after IEC failed to file notice of intention to oppose on time.

The party wants the IEC’s decision to be set aside and the commission to be directed that it must, without delay, include ActionSA’s name on the 2021 municipal ballot paper.

”… And taking into account the number of municipalities and wards in which ActionSA is participating in and contesting in the 2021 municipal elections, it must follow that firstly, the commission has not printed a significant number of ballots, such that it cannot reprint the corrected ballots. ”We have not received a notice to oppose from the IEC. What does that mean? It means we simply proceed, if the IEC chooses to file a late notice to oppose, it’s for the IEC then to explain themselves to the court as to why they did that, and if they file late papers in terms of whether they’re going to file an answering affidavit, then it’s for them to again explain themselves to the court,” Bloem explained.
