President Cyril Ramaphosa has warned of consequences for those who threaten or attempt to stoke social unrest during elections.
South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa said members of a new party backed by his predecessor, Jacob Zuma, who has threatened unrest if it is excluded from the 29 May elections, will be arrested.
Visvin Reddy, a party official, warned in the eastern city of Durban on Wednesday that no one would be allowed to vote if the party didn’t appear on the ballot papers. They will also have to file a list containing a predetermined number of their supporters’ signatures. It’s unclear if uMkhonto weSizwe will be able to meet those requirements.
The ANC forced Zuma to resign as president in 2018 after an almost nine-year tenure that was marred by a series of corruption scandals.
