BLF welcomes court ruling allowing it to contest elections

JOHANNESBURG - Black First Land First leader Andile Mngxitama has welcomed the Electoral Court ruling allowing his party to contest the elections.

The Freedom Front Plus tried to have the BLF deregistered as a political party in the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg on Monday, however, the merits of the case were not argued. The Electoral Court ruled that the Electoral Commission of South Africa was wrong to deny the FF Plus an opportunity to challenge the BLF's registration and sent the matter back to the chief commissioner.

Monday's ruling meant the FF Plus would be able to approach the IEC to challenge the BLF's legitimacy to contest the elections once its registration has been gazetted.“The court did not even give any time frames or set reasonable time. So this will happen long after the elections and the important thing is that we’re going to elections now and they must stop these time-wasting tactics.

The Electoral Court has ruled that the chief electoral commissioner must review the decision on the FF Plus' concerns and publish its findings in reasonable time.

FF Plus heads to Equality Court in a bid to ban BLF from participating in electionThe Freedom Front Plus (FF Plus) is expected to head back to the Electoral Court in a bid to prevent the Black First Land First (BLF) from participating in the general elections. Leave them alone. Every vote they attract is one which could be pointless. Otherwise the votes go to EFF or ANC. Lol the media always labels these right wing extremist, liberal progressives lol. FF+ is a racist party While i find BLF irrelevant and wondering who in their right mind would vote for them, i also find it quite odd that the likes of FF+ can only take offense from BLF and ignore the existence the Oranias and the Eureka...

JUST IN: Electoral court rules IEC erred when it didn't publish BLF registration in govt gazetteThe Electoral Court has set aside a decision by the South African Electoral Commission to dismiss an appeal by Freedom Front Plus to have Black Land First deregistered from contesting the May 8 elections. Sesona_Ngqaks Blf is a racist bunch, shouldn't EVER be part of the elections. Sesona_Ngqaks I STILL don't understand why it was up to the FFPlus to take the BLF registration matter to court! Surely, the IEC KNOWS when it has erred by not following electoral laws (who better?) & should have acted accordingly?! Sesona_Ngqaks I STILL don't understand why it was up to the FFPlus to take the BLF to the IEC over its RaceBasedMembership criterion! As I understand it, this contravenes SA's electoral laws & should have automatically disqualified this party! Why is SA STILL having to fight apartheid?!
