SAF ANC Fails to Remove Rival MK Party From Polls
In South Africa, the ruling African National Congress (ANC) lost in court yesterday in its attempt to remove the newly formed uMkhonto we Sizwe party, or MK, from the May 29 election ballot. The ANC challenged the MK’s use of the name and a logo that is similar to that of the ANC’s now-disbanded military wing founded by Nelson Mandela. Former President Jacob Zuma has agreed to be the candidate of the MK. Professor Sipho Seepe, a political analyst and former Deputy Vice Chancellor for Institutional Support at the University of Zululand, tells VOA’s James Butty, t the ruling means the ANC could lose more votes on May 29.
