MKP vs SABC | Party says use of "GNU" term is unconstitutional, invalid and breaches public mandate

Former President Jacob Zuma and the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party will today face off with the SABC in the High Court in Johannesburg over the use of the term "Government of National Unity (GNU)". MK filed its papers on an urgent basis back in July 2024. The new political party is asking the Court to, amongst other things, declare the SABC's continued use of the term unconstitutional and invalid, alleging that it constitutes a breach of the public broadcaster's independence and public mandate. SABC News Reporter Canny Maphanga and video journalist Thabiso Paatjie are covering the story. For more news, visit sabcnews.com and #SABCNews on all Social Media platforms.
