Cape Town – The uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party welcomed the dismissal of Jabulani Khumalo’s latest legal bid to be recognised as the party’s legitimate leader by the Electoral Court.
Khumalo has faced multiple court challenges, including accusations against former president Jacob Zuma’s leadership role in the party.
MK party spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela called Khumalo’s legal efforts “frivolous” and noted that punitive costs were awarded against him.
“In all applications, Khumalo has been ordered to pay the MK party punitive costs on an attorney and client scale. The MK party is aware that Khumalo’s nefarious campaign is funded by his handlers and the punitive costs are welcome,” Ndhlela said.

Khumalo’s legal battle, spanning several courts, ended with the Electoral Court ruling his claims as an abuse of the court process.
He also lost a court case concerning control over the MK party’s bank account.
Additionally, Khumalo’s allegations that Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla forged his signature were dismissed by the court.
The MK party denied these claims and asserted that Khumalo had perjured himself in his affidavits.
