NGO the Rivonia Circle has echoed other civil organisations who were contesting the controversial Electoral Amendment Bill, saying the bill in its current form remains unconstitutional and must be challenged.

The National Assembly on Thursday voted 232 votes to 98 to pass the Electoral Amendment Bill that will allow individuals to stand for national and provincial elections as independent candidates

Chairperson of the Rivonia Circle Songezo Zibi says they are adamant in their stance in opposing the bill. “That version if there are any amendments must come back to the National Assembly get passed and then it goes to President [Cyril] Ramaphosa. He’s obliged to consider to the constitutionality of any bill that comes before him and send it back to Parliament. He must do his part, if he does not then I’m afraid the 2024 election may happen under a legal challenge.”The United Democratic Movement has also rejected the bill in its current form.
