Johannesburg - Black First Land First has declared victory after the Gauteng High Court did not entirely rule on whether the party should be deregistered and barred from participating in next week's general elections.
"The decision of the electoral commission to refuse condonation to the applicant and consequent dismissal of the appeal is reviewed and set aside." BLF leader Andile Mngxitama, who argued for his party during court proceedings, said the ruling was a victory for the BLF and another loss for the FF+ in its campaign against his party. He reiterated that his party was a black interest party.
Blf is still in for a lot of trouble. There should be no space for racism in SA especially when backed by Zuma.

JUST IN: Electoral court rules IEC erred when it didn't publish BLF registration in govt gazetteThe Electoral Court has set aside a decision by the South African Electoral Commission to dismiss an appeal by Freedom Front Plus to have Black Land First deregistered from contesting the May 8 elections. Sesona_Ngqaks Blf is a racist bunch, shouldn't EVER be part of the elections. Sesona_Ngqaks I STILL don't understand why it was up to the FFPlus to take the BLF registration matter to court! Surely, the IEC KNOWS when it has erred by not following electoral laws (who better?) & should have acted accordingly?! Sesona_Ngqaks I STILL don't understand why it was up to the FFPlus to take the BLF to the IEC over its RaceBasedMembership criterion! As I understand it, this contravenes SA's electoral laws & should have automatically disqualified this party! Why is SA STILL having to fight apartheid?!

FF Plus heads to Equality Court in a bid to ban BLF from participating in electionThe Freedom Front Plus (FF Plus) is expected to head back to the Electoral Court in a bid to prevent the Black First Land First (BLF) from participating in the general elections. Leave them alone. Every vote they attract is one which could be pointless. Otherwise the votes go to EFF or ANC. Lol the media always labels these right wing extremist, liberal progressives lol. FF+ is a racist party While i find BLF irrelevant and wondering who in their right mind would vote for them, i also find it quite odd that the likes of FF+ can only take offense from BLF and ignore the existence the Oranias and the Eureka...

BLF stands behind all-black party lineThe BLF is adamant it will not open its membership to white people. IECSouthAfrica how and why are they allowed to be a registered, contending party? I'm always interested, what exactly do they mean by Land or Death? Is the last bit not against IEC regulations? You cannot threaten others with bodily harm if you do not get your way. IECSouthAfrica It just seems quite strange, two groups who believe in Apartheid race BLF & Orania but BLF is saying they're the only legitimate users of this technology when did they aquire the sole rights to it?

BLF stands behind all-black party lineThe BLF is adamant it will not open its membership to white people. The same way FF plus stands behind all white party line I really don't like the way we dealt with the land issue it causing a chaos in SA why can't we move on together as 1, live the history where it belong, history can't build the future that's what happens when you visit the history Chaos I agree with that. Black people need their own organizations without WHITES in it to dilute its effectiveness. The organization should be razor focused on how to make the Black populations life better with NO consideration for the White minority.
