The High Court in Durban, South Africa, postponed the ruling on a lawsuit filed by the ruling African National Congress against the newly established Umkhonto we Sizwe party. The ruling party of South Africa accuses the former president of trying to seize a national heritage and exploit it politically.

Former President Jacob Zuma's support for the new "Spear of the Nation" party led to the suspension of his membership in the ruling Congress Party. The court's decision to postpone the pronouncement of the ruling came after a session that lasted approximately 5 hours.
