A court in South Africa has ruled former President, Jacob Zuma, can run in next month's parliamentary elections.

He had challenged an earlier decision by the electoral commission, which barred him from standing due to a contempt of court conviction.
Zuma is representing a new political party after denouncing the governing African National Congress that he once led.

Hajra Omarjee is a political editor with Business Day - a national daily newspaper in South Africa.
She says that Jacob Zuma's decision to participate in elections came as a big surprise to the nation.
