Court finds Jabulani Khumalo has no grounds to claim that he is the leader of MK.
The Electoral Court has delivered its judgment on the much-published case of uMkhonto we Sizwe which has found that MK founder Jabulani Khumalo has no grounds to claim that he is the leader of the organisation and that former president Jacob Zuma’s appointment was unlawful.
This comes after Khumalo filed a last-minute motion to deem Zuma’s elevation to the party leadership and his dismissal as leader unconstitutional and illegal. This comes after Khumalo filed a last-minute motion to deem Zuma’s elevation to the party leadership and his dismissal as leader unconstitutional and illegal.
“The court determined the disputed facts on the respondents’ version in accordance with the Plascon-Evans rule. It found that the respondents’ version is well substantiated and not far-fetched. Mr Khumalo wrote the alleged fraudulent letter advising the Electoral Commission of SA (IEC) to change its records to reflect Mr Zuma as the leader of MK party.
“The commission complied with regulation 9 when it acted on this request because it acted on a written notice of the change by the then MK party leader, Mr Khumalo. Regulation 9 does not require that the party leader sends the notice. Therefore, the application falls to be dismissed,”
