will announce his party's next move in it's fight against the registration of the Black First Land First political party on Monday.
The FF Plus were arguing that there were procedural irregularities regarding the registration of BLF and were calling for it to not be part of the May 8 elections. The Electoral Court, sitting in the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg, set aside a decision by the IEC to dismiss the FF Plus' appeal. The court did not look into the merits of the matter and ruled that the IEC publishes the decision to register BLF in terms of Section 15 of the Electoral Commission Act 51 of 1996. The act stipulates that a political party's application to have it registered must be published in the government gazette. It also states that political party's who wish to object such registration do so within 14 days of publication.
