Jacob Zuma barred from serving as MP by Constitutional Court in South Africa

MK secretery general Sihle Ngubane said the party was disappointed with the ruling, but it would not affect its campaign.

“He is still the leader of the party. It [the judgment] doesn’t affect our campaign at all,” he said.

Mr Zuma’s face would remain on the ballot paper for the 29 May election, Mr Ngubane added.

South Africans vote for political parties, with the candidates at the top of their lists getting parliamentary seats depending on the number of votes the party gets.

MK’s emergence has raised the prospect that the ANC could lose its parliamentary majority for the first time since the end of apartheid 30 years ago.

uMkhonto we Sizwe is the original name of the ANC’s armed wing, which fought apartheid.
