Post undermining the IEC and electoral processes

Outcome

Overview

Post claims the newly minted MK Party will not be on ballot paper for the upcoming elections. This is false and misleading as the IEC is yet to announce which parties are to be on the ballot papers.

Background & Outcome

This is a serious claim that undermines the IEC and electoral processes. The claim is particularly concerning because members of the MK party have publicly threatened violence if the party is not on the ballot: https://www.news24.com/news24/politics/iec-warns-mk-party-as-zuma-loyalists-threaten-violence-attacks-if-party-is-kept-off-ballot-20240307
