Navigating IP rights
JOHANNESBURG – Some of the focus in the run-up to elections in South Africa has been on the courts and in two weeks’ time, on 10 May, the Constitutional Court will hear the IEC’s challenge to Jacob Zuma’s candidacy as an MP for the MK Party.
The IEC had said that Zuma could not stand as a candidate for parliament due to his criminal conviction.
But the Electoral Court found that his sentence handed down by the Constitutional Court at the time of the Zondo commission did not count as a sentence, because he had no opportunity to appeal.
The Council for the Advancement of the South African Constitution (Casac) has applied to be a friend of the court.
The Executive Secretary of Casac Lawson Naidoo discussed this with eNCA.
