Organisatiegeschiedenis 📅 12 December 2008 📍 Zuid-Afrika

The Pretoria High Court dismissed the ANC’s application to prevent the breakaway movement from using the name Congress of the People. The court considered the ANC’s connection to the 1955 Congress of the People at Kliptown but did not grant the requested interdict. The case made political contest over the anti-apartheid legacy a matter of legal and organisational identity.
