The African National Congress (ANC) has approached the Supreme Court of Appeal to overturn a KwaZulu-Natal High Court ruling that dismissed its application to prevent the MK party from using the name and logo of uMkhonto weSizwe, the ANC's former military wing. This legal battle reflects ongoing tensions within the MK party, which has been further complicated by allegations of nepotism against its leaders, particularly concerning Duduzile-Zuma Sambudla. In a separate legal matter, the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria has granted the Minister of Social Development leave to appeal a ruling that deemed the South African Social Security Agency's (SASSA) 2023 regulations unconstitutional. Additionally, the court is hearing the Democratic Alliance's (DA) application for leave to appeal a dismissal regarding the ANC's cadre deployment policy, which the DA argues undermines transparency and decision-making processes within the government. Judgment on this appeal has been reserved.
