Johannesburg (Reuters) – South Africa's top court ruled on Monday that former president Jacob Zuma was not eligible to run for parliament in this month's election, a closely-watched decision as it could affect the outcome.
Zuma, who was forced to quit as president in 2018, has fallen out with the governing African National Congress (ANC) and has been campaigning for a new party called uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) named after the ANC's formed armed wing.
