Law Law Latest News,Law Law Headlines

The Electoral Court has upheld the appeal by the MK party in its bid to keep former president Jacob Zuma on its parliamentary candidate list.

party has continued its winning streak in the courts and will ensure that the face of its campaign, former president Jacob Zuma, is not removed from its Parliamentary lists.

Zuma is an integral part of the MK party’s campaign as he has drawn large crowds and support for the party, which was officially registered in September 2023. He insisted that IEC commissioner Janet Love should have resigned after showing her alleged bias regarding Zuma’s participation in the elections.

IN 2023, the ANC also submitted an appeal to the IEC regarding the use of the name and logo of their disbanded military wing being used by the new political grouping, but was unsuccessful.And so failing to hold Zuma accountable has come back to haunt the ANC. Sweet that the rewards have come so soon. Go Jacob!! Finally end the ANC’s cushy majority!This will forever be known as the Day The South African Constitution Died. Definitive proof that our judiciary IS captured.
