MK ready to join parliament as opposition party
Updated | By Noxolo Miya
The uMkhonto weSizwe party says it will take its seat in parliament soon and join an alliance of opposition parties.
It's called the "Progressive Caucus" and is currently led by the EFF. But Jacob Zuma's party says it plans on launching a fresh court bid first to dispute what it claims were "rigged" elections results.
"We have instructed our legal team to take any if possible both inside of South Africa and internationally to insure that justice is done . Why are we always expected to accept what is is clearly unacceptable. We say enough is enough.”
The Constitutional Court last week dismissed the party's application over alleged election irregularities. National spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhela was briefing the media in Johannesburg last night.

He read out a speech while sitting alongside Zuma, and denounced the formation of the Government of National Unity:
'It is sponsored by big businesses; it is for the markets and not for the people. It must be crushed before it finds its feet."
