The ANC has filed a new court application to stop the opposition MK party backed by ex-president Jacob Zuma from using its name.

said the uMkhonto we Sizwe name and logo were similar to those of the now disbanded apartheid-era military wing of the ANC and that this could deceive or confuse voters.Zuma, 81, who was forced out of office in 2018 under a cloud of corruption allegations, is campaigning for MK in an attempt to relaunch his career and weaken his former party, the ANC.

The court move is to prevent “the Zuma party from passing itself off as being connected with the ANC by the use of the name uMkhonto we Sizwe” which means Spear of the Nation in Zulu, the ruling party said.
