Kanjabanga waits as Court decides Boko's fate

Boko's eligibility to contest the post has been challenged by BNF members Thuso Mogorosi, Sekgopi Bogatsu, Moses Kajane and Chalido Madome. Dumezweni Mthimkhulu for the applicants said in court yesterday that Boko should be interdicted from contesting the BNF presidency because at one time he was a member of the National Democratic Front (NDF). He produced documents from the Registrar of Societies, which bear Boko's signature to prove his claim that he was a member of NDF, a now moribund splinter party of the BNF.

Mthimkhulu contended that if Boko was wrongly associated with the NDF, he could have approached the party officials and asked them to remove his name from the records. He said the fact that there is no evidence that Boko ever resigned from the NDF is evidence that he is still a member of the party and should therefore be disqualified from standing for the BNF presidency. He described Boko as being less than candid with the court.
