Description
In South Africa, a spokesperson for the opposition uMkhonto we Sizwe (or MK) party says the group has stepped up its campaign ahead of the coming May 29 national elections. Noma Buthelezi is the spokesperson of the MK party Youth League in the Kwazulu Natal province. She says the opposition party is determined to win a two-thirds majority in parliament to form the next government. Her comments come after a Kwazulu-Natal High Court in Durban rejected a petition by the African National Congress to prevent the MK from using a logo the ANC argues is its asset and heritage. Noma Buthelezi tells VOA's Peter Clottey the uMkhonto we Sizwe is happy with the court’s decision.
