The African National Congress says it will be joining the IEC's Constitutional Court bid to have local government elections postponed.
ANC deputy secretary-general Jessie Duarte said: "We have developed our affidavits in view of the fact that we are an interested party."We're interested on the basis that the electorate does need to have a fair time to question candidates beyond what the ANC's processes are doing," she said.
"We have to take our manifesto to the ground. We have to do it properly and we have to have an assurance that the elections will be free and fair. We will not be hampered by yet another wave of COVID-19."
