ANC being petty over logo, says Khoza's new party
Cape Town - Makhosi Khoza's new party, African Democratic Change (ADeC), says the African National Congress is "panicking" and being "petty" by raising problems with their party logo.
The ANC on Monday said it would report the former ANC MP's new party to the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) for what it considered a "deliberate appropriation" of the ANC's colours and logo.
ANC spokesperson Zizi Kodwa accused the new party of trying to "confuse" voters ahead of the 2019 general elections and of riding "the coat-tails of ANC icons, iconography and symbolism".
ADeC however dismissed the ruling party's claims on Monday.
"There is no copyright when it comes to colours. We think the ANC is being petty and the attack is unfounded," ADeC spokesperson Feziwe Ndwalane told News24.
