The IEC and former President Jacob Zuma faced off in the Electoral Court.
The Electoral Court has heard that the purpose of Section 47 of the Constitution is to ensure that lawbreakers do not become lawmakers.
Zuma sought to appeal the IEC decision through the Electoral Court. It was an interpretation exercise in the Electoral Court which is tasked with determining whether section 47 of the constitution disqualifies Zuma’s candidature. “That sentence would then read like this, the total sentence the applicant was to serve was 15 months, if the 12-months remission was deducted from this sentence, it will leave a sentence of three months,” says Adv Dali Mpofu SC on behalf of MK Party.
