Andile Mngxitama says that 25 years after democracy black people, including black judges, remain landless tenants. File photo.The Freedom Front Plus and Black First Land First both claimed victory after a high court decision on Monday instructing the IEC to publish the registration of the BLF in the government gazette"as soon as reasonably practical".
Although the court did not venture into the merits of the case, it granted relief, in part, to the FF Plus with an instruction that IEC chief executive Sy Mamabolo"must publish his or her decision [to register the BLF] in terms of section 15 of the Electoral Commission Act 51 of 1996 as soon as reasonably practical".
However, the act then stipulates that upon approval of the application to register, which was granted to the BLF by the electoral commission, the IEC chief executive must publish that. This was was not done in this instance. FF Plus leader Pieter Groenewald claimed victory, citing the fact that the court had agreed that the IEC had failed to publish the BLF's registration.
