In a notice released late on Monday, the Independent Electoral Commission of SA (IEC) announced its decision to dismiss all objections raised against the right of Black First Land First leader Andile Mngxitama and party spokesperson Lindsay Maasdorp to become MPs.
Both have courted controversy on numerous occasions for racially divisive rhetoric in service of their blacks-only party, which is standing in its first election in May.
According to the IEC, objections may be lodged against a candidate on the basis that they are not qualified to stand for elections, if they did not accept the nomination, or if they did not sign the IECs code of conduct.
Every citizen who is qualified to vote for national assembly representative…

The WA Nationals will push the Commonwealth Government to wipe student debts for a broader range of job seekers who commit to living in regional WA for five years in the lead up to the Federal Election.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced in February teachers would be eligible to have HECS debts waived if they worked in indigenous communities.
The WA Nationals Federal candidates want the scope of that policy widened to include all job seekers considering moving to the bush in any industry in need of workers.
Nationals WA Senate candidate Nick Fardell said debt relief would lure highly educated people out to the bush to fill skills shortages.

In a letter sent to the judge that ruled against his company in a lawsuit filed by one of its customers, Frama Seafoods Amado Rodriguez said his company is at risk of insolvency.
Pinecrest, Florida-based Frama Seafood was ordered to pay more than USD 1 million (EUR 891,400) in compensation after California Superior Court Judge Eddie C. Sturgeon found Frama had fraudulently sent underweight loads of poor-quality salmon to Lotus Seafood on three occasions.
Your decision has destroyed my company along with my familys financial well-being and, with all due respect, I do not think that this judgment had any merits based on the complaint and trial, Rodriguez wrote to the judge.
Rodriguez questioned whether Lotus suffered damages from the shipment…

The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal said it would decide on the insolvency of debt-ridden Reliance Communications Ltd. The Anil Ambani-led Reliance Group company has pleaded with the tribunal to go ahead with insolvency proceedings against it as it is unable to pay dues to its lenders.
Swiss telecom gear maker Ericsson, which received its unpaid dues of Rs 550 crore from RCom last month following a Supreme Court order, is opposing the move.
A two-member bench headed by Chairman Justice SJ Mukhopadhaya also observed that if insolvency proceedings against RCom are allowed, then Ericsson would have to return Rs 550 crore.
“Why one party will take amount and let the financial creditors suffer,” said the NCLAT, adding that either it may …
