Former President Jacob Zuma has won his appeal in the Electoral Court, securing his place on the ballot for the upcoming South African national elections. This decision comes after the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) initially disqualified Zuma from standing as the candidate for uMkhonto we Sizwe Military Veterans Association (MKP).

Renowned lawyer Dali Mpofu SC, representing Zuma, successfully argued the case, leading to the reversal of the IEC's decision. This ruling means that Zuma's face will be on the ballot when South Africans head to the polls on 29 May.

The news has sparked reactions nationwide, with many expressing their opinions on social media and news platforms.

This decision marks a significant development in the lead-up to the elections and is likely to have a notable impact on the political landscape of South Africa.
