Islamic State of Africa bid to register as a political party, struck off the roll by IEC
The Mercury
|September 15, 2025
THE Islamic State of Africa (ISA), a nonprofit organisation, is contending with what it describes as systemic bias in democratic processes after the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) struck its appeal to register as a political party off the roll.
The Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) rejected ISA’s application on three grounds:
1. The party failed to meet the threshold of prescribed details of registered voters supporting the party's formation.
The prescribed details were full names and signatures of 300 registered voters.
2. The application notice was published in a newspaper circulated only in parts of the municipal area (eThekwini Municipality), which is insufficient to alert all relevant persons in the geographic area of the party’s application.
