The Constitutional Court of South Africa ruled that former president Jacob Zuma is ineligible to run for a seat in the National Assembly in the upcoming general election. This decision comes as a result of Zuma's 15-month jail sentence for contempt of court in 2021, disqualifying him from participating in the election. Despite the ruling, the Umkhonto Wesizwe party insists that Zuma remains their leader and will still be on the ballot paper.
