Quick Glance: Court Rejects Delayed ANC Bid to Block Use of MK Trademark by Zuma's MK Party
- The KwaZulu-Natal High Court has dismissed the ANC’s bid to prohibit Jacob Zuma’s MK party from using the names and symbols of its disbanded anti-apartheid military wing.
- The judgment handed down allows the recently-established MK party, led by former president Jacob Zuma, to use the 'uMkhonto we Sizwe' name and symbols.
- The judgment highlighted that the ANC only considered the consequences of the name and symbols' use after Zuma publicly declared his support for the MK party.
- The court deemed the ANC's delayed application as 'self-created' due to the responsibility falling on party secretary general Fikile Mbalula to ensure timely action.

Quick Glance: EFF's Shivambu as Finance Minister Would Truly Spook the Markets
- In typical EFF fashion, politician Julius Malema recently made the controversial statement that the EFF would only consider a coalition with the ANC after the elections if EFF deputy president Floyd Shivambu is appointed finance minister.
- DA leader John Steenhuisen did not mince his words at the recent launch of his party’s Western Cape manifesto in Paarl, in the Drakenstein Municipality.

- Investment strategist Izak Odendaal from Old Mutual Wealth says it is unlikely that Shivambu would take on what is arguably the most important Cabinet position, even in the event of an ANC-EFF coalition.

Quick Glance: South Africa's Foreign Policy Under Scrutiny
- In a mirror image of Pik Botha’s missions during apartheid to sell South Africa's 'good intentions' to the US, International Relations and Cooperation Minister Naledi Pandor is striving to defend her government's somewhat battered foreign policy.
- South Africa seems to believe that maintaining good relations with the White House allows it to challenge US sentiments, values, and interests in international relations without jeopardizing its economic ties.
- Following the Ukraine invasion and our misguided stance, it is crucial for South Africa to rediscover its democratic foundations and advocate for ordinary people across the continent who seek transparent and accountable freely elected governments.
- A recurring pattern emerges: South Africa takes hasty positions and hastily retraces its steps when faced with diplomatic repercussions. The ANC now confronts the chilly winds of disapproval, struggling to cope, partly due to its overwhelming commitment to sanctimonious ideological rhetoric that clouds its judgment.

Quick Glance: Dispute over uMkhonto weSizwe Symbol escalates: NPO transfers trademark to ANC
- Rapitse Montsho, director of the non-profit organization Legacy Project, reveals that the uMkhonto weSizwe logo was registered in 2014 after being prompted by late ANC MK veteran Kebby Maphatsoe.
- Last week, Tebogo Sithathu, a staunch supporter of former President Jacob Zuma, falsely claimed to be the rightful owner of the trademark, which was later revealed to be untrue.
- Montsho explained that the logo was handed over to the ANC without compensation and emphasized that the rights to the symbol will only expire in August 2024.
- The matter of alleged trademark infringement of the ANC's MK by MK is being heard at the Durban High Court, with Secretary General Fikile Mbalula asserting that the historical context of the trademark belongs to them.
