South Africa’s ruling African National Congress has lost a second court case against a new rival party led by former President Jacob Zuma
South Africa's ruling African National Congress lost a second court case against a new rival party fronted by former President Jacob Zuma on Monday. A judge in the KwaZulu-Natal High Court in the eastern city of Durban dismissed the ANC's case alleging copyright infringement against the MK Party for using a name and a logo the ANC claims ownership of.
But it is under increasing pressure from voters over the country's deep problems, which include record levels of unemployment, worsening poverty, high rates of violent crime, government corruption and an electricity crisis. Analysts say the ANC will likely lose its majority for the first time in the May 29 election. Zuma's MK Party is among a group of challengers expected to erode its vote.
