Yacoob, a Johannesburg high court judge, has been acting at the electoral court since February. She was part of the panel that heard Zuma’s challenge to the Electoral Commission of South Africa’s decision that the former president was not eligible to be a parliamentary candidate for the uMkhonto weSizwe party.
The court on Tuesday overruled the IEC’s decision to uphold an objection to his candidacy, but it did not immediately supply reasons for the decision. Yacoob said although the court had handed down its order swiftly because the electoral timetable demanded as much, it was still elaborating the rationale.
South Africa is eagerly awaiting the electoral court’s clarification on the ruling regarding Jacob Zuma’s eligibility to run for parliament. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
