Newsletter| The Freedom Front Plus has launched a third bid to remove Black First Land First from the ballot paper. BLF leader Andile Mngxitama said if the party is removed “we will be left with no choice but to take up arms and fight for our freedom”
Speaking to City Press on Friday, FF Plus media officer Pieter Swart confirmed that they want BLF deregistered as a political party and, by extension, removed from this year’s ballot paper.
IEC spokesperson Tsile Maswanganyi confirmed to City Press that the FF Plus had indeed “approached the Electoral Court to appeal against the decision of the Electoral Commission to dismiss its appeal that was lodged with the commission in relation to the decision of the chief electoral officer to register the BLF as a political party”.
“This is just a desperate strategy from the FF Plus. You should look at their leadership and tell me if there is any diversity. That party only uses a few black stooges to belie the fact that it is still a racist Afrikaans party.
