00:00
Jacob Zuma and his Umkhonto Overseas Wehpaja are in the middle of a storm.
00:03
On one hand, the party is in the throes of some serious aftershocks following revelations that
00:08
senior leaders, including co-founder Jabalani Kamalo, have been thrown out after allegations
00:13
that a significant number of the 15,000 signatures which the MKP presented to the IEC
00:19
in order to be registered as a political party were forgeries.
00:23
It is also claimed that the purge leaders had held secret meetings with the ANC.
00:28
Kamalo also allegedly raised funds for the MK party which they never actually made it to the party.
00:34
And while the party is rearranging its leadership, member number one,
00:37
Jacob Zuma, may yet again be kicked off the party nomination list
00:41
as the IEC is appealing the Electoral Court's decision to allow Zuma to remain on the ballot.
00:47
The IEC had originally ruled that Zuma could not be nominated
00:50
because of his sentence for contempt of court.
00:53
The Electoral Court had overruled them,
00:55
saying he could remain on the list.
00:57
But with the IEC's appeal, a constitutional court ruling is expected on the 10th of May.
