ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula said the governing party will “definitely” appeal the trademark ruling if it is not in their favour.
The governing party wants to stop the MK party from using the name and logo linked to the ANC’s armed wing uMkhonto weSizwe.argued the ANC matter is about the “political contestation” and exercising of “political rights” set out in section 19 of the constitution. “We are here to cover up the ineptitude of the ANC itself and particularly the office of the secretary-general. The ANC’s case is untenable,” Mpofu argued.Mpofu said the ANC’s case is an “abuse of the court process” and should be slapped with a punitive costs order.
“We must be convinced by the law as to why we shouldn’t because uMkhonto weSizwe is a registered trademark of the ANC. Whether they argue its was done by Legacy Trust and all of that, its was ceded to the African National Congress.
