A spokesperson for the Umkhonto WeSizwe Party (MK Party), Nhlamulo Ndhlela, has said that the party plans to appeal to the United Nations Human Rights Committee to overturn a court ruling preventing former South African President Jacob Zuma from contesting for the presidency in the upcoming May 29 election over his criminal conviction.
South Africa’s highest court, on Monday, disqualified Zuma from running in the election coming up next week due to his previous conviction in 2021 after he refused to testify at a judicial inquiry into government corruption.
