Allegations that former president Jacob Zuma’s uMkhonto Wesizwe party forged supporters’ signatures could threaten the legitimacy of the elections.
Former president Jacob Zuma’s uMkhonto Wesizwe party is unlikely to be affected at the polls by its expulsion of high-ranking members. However, allegations that it forged supporters’ signatures could threaten the legitimacy of the elections.
Three of the expelled members were high on the party’s election candidate list, with Jabulani Khumalo appearing second, Moepeng fourth and Davidson eighth. Party spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndlela told the newspaper that Khumalo had recently acquired new cars and had gone from having one bodyguard to four.Earlier in April, the party announced the “strategic redeployment” of its youth league leaders, including the league’s outspoken national coordinator Bonginkosi Khanyile, his deputy, Thapelo Maisha, interim secretary-general Gaan Cibane and Gauteng coordinator Philani Gazuzu Nduli.
This is not the first time that the legitimacy of supporters’ signatures has been questioned. Last week, Economic Freedom Fighter leader Julius Malema questioned the authenticity of the signatures submitted by Mmusi Maimane’s Build One South Africa.Dooms said she was interested to see whether the IEC had responded to the Red Berets’ request to close the loopholes regarding unverified signatures.

Not too shabby for someone who in the estimation of DCS was knocking at death’s door.And once the law of entropy does eventually get him… there’s the red beret mini-me waiting in the wings. God help us.Falsifying another person’s signature, even in good faith, is considered an offense of falsifying documents and can lead to serious consequences, including imprisonment.
