The Economic Freedom Fighters said they're very unhappy after their one minute ad campaign for TV got banned by the SABC.

On Sunday the party's Facebook and Twitter accounts had links to the advert, saying the SABC has touched them (the EFF) "on the wrong side".

"We're going for them. They do not realize that we are not called fighters for nothing."

"The SABC said it is inciteful, because we want to physically remove the e-toll system."

There are somesimilarities in this advert to that of the DA's - it features content of the Marikana bloodbath and of the recent protests at Bekkersdal.

A press conference will be held by the party later today.

Agree, there is also nothing wrong with the DA and EFF ad.

What a **** backyard ad

+1 looks like it was made in his house listen to the echo when he talks. And stupid church music I turned the volume off until hr spoke. Lol

 

[MrGray]

It calls for violence - "Destroy E-Tolls Physically". As much as we hate the E-Tolls, publicly calling for their "physical" destruction is not above board.

 

[Garson007]

Vandalism isn't violence.

Besides, it's an election promise not incitement.

What a **** backyard ad

Well they do keep saying they have no money

Their wording could have been better though >.<

"DESTROY E-TOLLS PHYSICALLY"

We'll just ignore the bad sentence construction for now. You can understand they probably intended to imply they want to dismantle the gantries if they came into power but that just makes it look like they want people to go out and physically blow them up

 

[w1z4rd]

I understand the malema-pessimism in this thread, but I feel people are losing focus on the bigger issue here. State censorship of opposition political parties. It is much worse than Malema saying he is going to remove the e-toll gantries.

 

[ToxicBunny]

The ad is absolutely rubbish....

But I see no reason for it to be "banned".. The SABC needs to be taken to task AGAIN for this bulldust.

someone making these decisions needs to be relieved of their duties as a matter of extreme urgency - like, forthwith.
