Political analyst said MK party members believed Zuma was going to go to parliament and he exploited that lack of knowledge.

The IEC has barred Jacob Zuma from standing as a candidate in the 2024 national elections.Although the decision of the Electoral Commission of South Africa to bar former president Jacob Zuma from standing as a candidate of the uMkhonto weSizwe party in the 29 May elections would not have much impact, Zuma was not being honest with the electorate, an analyst says.

The IEC has announced it has endorsed objections to Zuma’s nomination to stand for parliament after he appeared in the number one spot of the MK’s party national candidate list. IEC chair Mosotho Moepya said the MK party had been informed of this decision but the party would still be able to contest the upcoming elections.

Mashego said it was important to understand that section 47 of the constitution referred more to holding an office.
