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?!

'There is nothing that they can do to stop us' BLF not deterred by court rulingBlack First Land First says it is not deterred by the Electoral Court's finding that the Electoral Commission of SA erred when it did not publish the party's registration in the Government Gazette in 2016. Sesona_Ngqaks I still was gonna be soo much happy if BLF failed in this matter. Groenewald says it straight that this party is 'racist' but fam, let's sing 'the court has ruled' along Sesona_Ngqaks People who think outfits like this will observe laws, are deluded. They will only ask for laws to be upheld when it suits them. They are outlaws. Sesona_Ngqaks The BLF may be arrogant & racist, but they are right to be unconcerned: The IEC, like the rest of the authorities which are supposed to ensure that the RuleOfLaw is obeyed, is too scared to act within the boundaries of the law regarding violent parties like the BLF!
