South Africa: Big Win For Zuma As Court Dismisses ANC’s Plea, Allows MK Party To Keep Party Name, Logo

South Africa’s African National Congress (ANC) faced a setback in its legal battle to prevent a new party from using the name and logo of its former armed wing, uMkhonto we Sizwe.

The ANC had initiated legal action against the uMkhonto we Sizwe Party, led by ex-President Jacob Zuma, alleging a violation of the Trademark Act by appropriating the name and emblem of its former military branch.
