South Africa's ANC loses another court case against rival party led by former president Zuma
CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — South Africa’s ruling African National Congress lost a second court case against a new rival party fronted by former President Jacob Zuma on Monday.
A judge in the KwaZulu-Natal High Court in the eastern city of Durban dismissed the ANC’s case alleging copyright infringement against the MK Party for using a name and a logo the ANC claims ownership of.
The MK Party was formed late last year and was given added importance ahead of a national election in May when former ANC leader Zuma joined.
MK takes its full name — uMkhonto weSizwe — from the now-disbanded military wing set up by the ANC and Nelson Mandela in the 1960s. The MK Party’s logo showing a man holding a spear and a shield is similar to the old military wing’s logo.
The ANC’s request for payment in the form of royalties or damages from MK was rejected.
