Independent Electoral Commission

This is after an complaint by the Freedom Front Plus that the BLF excluded membership on the basis of race.

According to the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) statement: “Admissions by the BLF in its response to the appeal had served to clarify the position of the party, namely to exclude white people from membership.”

The FF Plus has welcomed the decision by the IEC, describing it as a victory.

“The fact that the appeal was granted means that justice prevailed. The FF Plus has been fighting for law and order in this case since January.

“It is unacceptable that the IEC violated the act by registering the BLF in the first place. Legislation may not be seen as mere guidelines, it must be complied with. No one is above the law,” says the party’s leader Pieter Groenewald.

The extremely radical and controversial leader of the Black First Land First (BLF) says there will be violence if the Independent Electoral Commission refuses to register its party for the forthcoming municipal elections of 2019.

He made the remark after it was disclosed that the BLF may not participate in the election in terms of the constitution that clearly notes that the conduct of hate speech and declaring of genocide is condemned.

He raised the threat during a media interview with reporters and said if the IEC prevented him from participating in the forthcoming election, violence would break out in South Africa.

Earlier, in a speech, he encouraged his audience to kill white people, which led to severe reactions from different resorts.

Meanwhile, it is expected that President Ramaphosa will act or at least give a warning but it did not happen.
