The High Court in Johannesburg is expected to deliver judgment in the matter between the African National Congress (ANC) and the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) today.
The ANC is challenging the commission’s registration of the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party, arguing that it is unlawful.
The MK party, which former President Jacob Zuma has endorsed, has submitted that the ANC has not followed internal electoral processes in seeking to have the registration of the party reviewed.
The IEC says the ANC failed to object to the registration in time.
The judgment was expected to be delivered in the Electoral Court in Bloemfontein yesterday.
The organisation Judges Matter which monitors the judiciary in South Africa says it hopes the court will explain why it did not deliver judgment in the case between the ANC and the commission yesterday.
