The MK party and the IEC are squaring up in Constitutional Court.
Advocate Dali Mpofu, representing Zuma and the MK party, has argued that the test of reasonableness of bias must be viewed from the perspective of the litigant, in this case, former president Jacob Zuma.
The uMkhonto we Sizwe party and the Independent Electoral Commission are squaring up in the Constitutional Court. This comes after the IEC appealed the ruling of the Electoral Court, which found the leader of the MK party, Jacob Zuma eligible to stand as its candidate in this month’s elections.Judge Mbuyiseli Madlanga asked Mpofu who is seeking the recusal of six Supreme Court judges who presided over his contempt of court matter three years ago.
The IEC argues that its appeal does not require the interpretation of Zuma’s contempt of court matter and therefore there is no basis for requesting the recusal of the justices.
