ANC shocked at court ruling about struggle song

By Khanyisa Tabata

The ANC says it is shocked and disappointed by the ruling of the South Gauteng High Court that the ANC struggle song “Ayesaba Amagwala” is unconstitutional.

Spokesperson Jackson Mthembu says they are astonished by the fact that the court did not make an effort to get input from the ANC as owners and experts on the struggle song, on its meaning, its history and its purpose.

Had the court invited the ANC to make input the likelihood is that the high court would have reached a different conclusion on the issue. T

he ANC says it will challenge the ruling in the Constitutional Court with immediate effect.
