Description
The national spokesperson for South Africa’s Umkhonto we Sizwe, or MK Party, says it is the victim of a fraudster. This, as the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) is investigating if the MK forged some of the 15,000 signatures required to register for the May 29 general elections. The MK has survived several court battles since it was revealed that former President Jacob Zuma could be the its presidential candidate. Spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela tells VOA’s James Butty, the party found out that the so-called whistle blower is a disgruntled volunteer whose request to represent the MK as parliamentary candidate was denied.
