The media is trying hard to discredit MK
Shaka was using the Spear and Shield, does that mean ANC have the right to this goodwill. Surely the common law rights should be evoked by the Zulu King.
All African tribes who were fighting colonialists when they sat foot here used the spear and shield. Those were African weapons not Zulu weapons. As Bushmen and Hottentots used bows and arrows.
@BJamnes29 what are you on about? The issue is not about a spear and shield but taking a name and symbol used by a political rival to create an image that it’s a continuation of the same organisation. Zuma as defacto leader of MK Party has categorically stated he is still a member of ANC and is using MK to change leadership of ANC outside elective conference. All other political parties that came out of ANC like INkatha, PAC, UDM, COPE, EFF etc distance themselves from ANC & are trying to bury it. MK Party could have chosen a different name, different colours and whilst at it they could have chosen an image eg of a warrior holding the spear facing upwards and shield to the side… there are so many different poses. The reason why they didn’t do that is because they are trying to be deceptive and are spoiling for a fight.
@@khaltsharivist365 I am against the insinuation that the spear and shield was used by Shaka exclusively, as a Zulu king. All African kings used the same weapons when they were fighting colonialists. There is a false narrative which is being perpetuated that it's only Zulus who fought wars or have a culture. All African tribes have their cultures, but the weapons of war were the same, the spear and the shield.
In other words, no group should appropriate the spear and shield for itself to the exclusion of others. If so then neither the ANC nor Legacy project should make claims.
The Spear of the Nation: the statement speaks volumes! It says, it can't belong to anyone or any group but for everyone or all groups called nation.
It was not called ‘spear of the nation’ via referendum or by parliament. It was called that by a political party that founded the MK as a military wing, same party that calls itself a ‘national congress’. Fact is Umkonto we Sizwe has been associated with ANC since it’s formation in 1961 headed by Mandela. That has never been in dispute until 2024 when people now want to feign amnesia.
@@khaltsharivist365 Before then was used by chiefs of several nations to fight the enemies of the nation. Even Shaka can't say it is his sole owner
Who else sees the demons?
They security company in Durban trading as Mkhonto Wesizwe security services. I think they own of this company must also come forward for this trademark.
Common law trademark MK Mkhonto wesizwe that's another name or a division of the ANC xa I ANC ingayiwini le case kwawbe kudlalwa nge ANC zezo legacy projects zenu
Xhosas and Zulu and many African people used the spear the lady speaks nonsense she knows nothing bout our customery laws
The really problem is that ANC never bother about their trade mark keep safe all along till they fall from hands of hand of person who is a threat to ANC therefore Clearing who deserve legal ownership now is immaterial unless intentions is to confuse public as the strategy of colonizers to confuse them &:devide them MK PARTY will do away such evil tactics VOTE MK PARTY UYAWABONA LAMASELA ASEYATATAZELA
Getting all the legal experts to punt common law use over an existing legal ownership is simply bizarre Houdini trick 😂😂😂
Ppl can express themselves with their comforting lies but everybody knows that MK name is the ANC legacy. Ignorance won't help you ppl.
Chris Hani is probably turning in his grave. We all know that he was Commander of MK but was never ANC, he was SACP. MK is not ANC. Why is the ANC telling a blatant lie?
Something fishy of course it's clear
Sounds like the Advocate is leaning towards the ANC. She therefore is not an objective commentator on this matter
Because she is not alluding to what you want to hear...or you're listening with emotions rather than to understand trademark objectives
@@botumileseleke2712 there is no way the ANC has a strong case, they don’t have standing in the matter. I may not be a lawyer but logic tells me if you don’t own something you can go around accusing people of inappropriately using what is not even yours to begin with. Locus- standi
Mbalula the Dom kop is exposed again 🤣🤣🤣
Who is legacy projects?
Sad to hear an advocate advising ANC how to steal MK LOGO
Shame u are trying 😅
