The BLF leader expresses confidence that his party will win if the matter goes to court.
The Freedom Front Plus has made it clear that they want Black First Land First out of the upcoming elections for not complying with the electoral code and for stating that only black people may join the party.
FF+ leader Pieter Groenewald said it was a mistake for the Independent Electoral Commission to allow BLF to register, in terms of legislation. According to him, the BLF is in contravention of the Electoral Commission Act section 16 1 as well as contravention of the Constitution. “Land thieves are scared, land thieves are terrified, that BLF is going to parliament. If they were really serious about the law, they would have complied with the provisions of the IEC Act which gives them 30 days to object when a party is being registered.
