Court: ANC insists MK party wants to confuse voters

Former South African president Jacob Zuma addressing a rally during the African National Congress and Umkhonto weSizwe Party court case in respect of the MK Party trademark heard at Durban High Court on March 27, 2024 in Durban, South Africa. Its believe that despite the ANC welcoming the court’s ruling to declare the former President Jacob Zuma’s Umkhonto weSizwe Party lawful and constitutional, it prepares to engage in legal battles with MKP over the name and logo.

“Even if it had not been so, that the ANC continued to use it through its control of the uMkhonto we Sizwe Military Veterans’ Association , the fact is, it would still enjoy the residual reputation which vests in the name because of the fame the organisation achieved over the years and because it continues to feature in public life.”Marriot said the ANC’s case for “passing off” was of the traditional sort, where it arose where one associated themselves in the course of trade.

Marriot said that “on 30 December, 2023, addressing a crowd of supporters, Zuma stated he had not left the ANC but is one of the rooms in the ANC which he will use to save the ANC”. “While I am not clear as to the meaning of this uMkhonto he is referring to, I can confirm that the ANC’s uMkhonto has no relation or connection with the first respondent . To suggest that they are under one Mkhonto is a blatant lie,” he said.
