The African National Congress (ANC) has filed an application for an interdict against the MK Party, seeking to prevent the latter from utilizing the iconic “warrior and shield” logo and the name “uMkhonto weSizwe”. The matter is currently being heard in court, with the ANC arguing that the MK Party’s use of these symbols constitutes an infringement on their intellectual property and historical legacy.
The ANC is requesting that the court order the MK Party to change its name and logo, citing concerns over potential confusion among voters and the dilution of their own brand identity. The outcome of this legal dispute may have significant implications for the MK Party’s future operations and identity.
