Former President and MK leader Jacob Zuma has until tomorrow to appeal the IEC’s decision that he may not run as a candidate in the May 29 polls – should he so wish. The decision was taken following the public candidate list inspection process which took place last week.
The apex law of the land stipulates that any person convicted of an offence and sentenced to more than 12 months imprisonment without the option of a fine is disqualified from standing for elections.Zuma was sentenced to 15 months in prison for contempt of court in relation to his appearance before the State Capture Commission in June 2021.
The Electoral Court has until the 9th of this month to hear any challenges to the IEC’s decision – with the Commission expected to publish its final candidate lists a day later, the 10th of April.
