SABC urges high court to dismiss MKP's case over government of national unity term
Jacob Zuma, the leader of MKP and the second applicant of the case brought by the MKP, which seeks to prevent the SABC from using the term "government of national unity" regarding the current seventh administration’s case, which seeks to prevent the public broadcaster from using the term"government of national unity " regarding the current administration.
The SABC argued that the hearing date on 13 August was intended as a provisional date, as the MKP's affidavit indicated that they would request a special allocation for a full bench hearing from the Deputy Judge President—a step the MKP has failed to take.
"In fact, in the founding affidavit, they contemplate approaching the Deputy Judge President for the matter to be specifically allocated, yet they have not done so and instead persist with having this matter enrolled on the urgent roll," the affidavit continues.
