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.
