SAF ANC Sues Rival Party, Electoral Body
The ruling party of South Africa, the African National Congress (ANC), has sued the independent electoral commission and the uMkhonto weSizwe (Spear of the Nation) or MK party. According to the Associated Press, the ANC is challenging the MK’s use of the name uMkhonto weSizwe 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 party. Professor Sipho Seepe, a political analyst and former Deputy Vice Chancellor for Institutional Support at the University of Zululand, tells VOA’s James Butty, the ANC has become paranoid because of the popularity of former President Jacob Zuma
