africanews.com/2024/04/22/south-africa-another-loss-for-anc-to-stop-former-leader-zumas-party-from-using-trademark/
Quick Glance: Court Rejects Delayed ANC Bid to Block Use of MK Trademark by Zuma's MK Party
- The KwaZulu-Natal High Court has dismissed the ANC’s bid to prohibit Jacob Zuma’s MK party from using the names and symbols of its disbanded anti-apartheid military wing.

- The judgment highlighted that the ANC only considered the consequences of the name and symbols' use after Zuma publicly declared his support for the MK party.
- The court deemed the ANC's delayed application as 'self-created' due to the responsibility falling on party secretary general Fikile Mbalula to ensure timely action.
