EFF ad also banned by SABC

Wouldn't that fall under fair use?

As for fair use,no i don't think so.The ad is first a commercial work and second a political ad.
 
EFF SUPPORTERS GATHER AHEAD OF MARCH

Economic Freedom Fighters supporters have started to gather at Pieter Roos Park in Johannesburg ahead of a planned march to the SABC.

EFF members wearing red berets were singing and dancing as they waited for more buses to bring in supporters.

They were singing "Si zo votela uMalema" (we will vote for Malema) and "Malema is going, make way for him".

The march is in protest over the public broadcaster refusing to air the party's election commercial.

The SABC claims the advert incites violence. The matter was taken to the Independent Communications Authority of SA which ruled in favour of the broadcaster.

The advertisement contained a slogan that the party would "destroy e-tolls physically!" if people voted for them.

Johannesburg Metro police spokesman Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar said traffic would be affected around Auckland Park due to the march.

"The march will start on the corner of Empire and Victoria Roads and proceed in a westerly direction on Empire towards the SABC," he said.

EFF SUPPORTERS CROWD EMPIRE ROAD

Hundreds of Economic Freedom Fighters' supporters crowded Empire Road in Parktown, Johannesburg, ahead of their planned march to the SABC on Tuesday.

Sounds of "voetsek man" echoed on the street as they sang and danced. Marshals maintained order during the singing.

EFF spokesman Mbuyiseni Ndlozi told reporters the march would be robust and militant, but peaceful.

"The EFF is very peaceful. The only violent people are the ANC who have killed people in Mothutlung, Relela and Marikana."

A few placards were hoisted high in the air along with flags and posters.

A placard read "SABC belongs to Zuma and ANC -- let's go burn it", while another said "The secrecy bill is not yet signed so why hide our EFF advert -- A luta continua" (the struggle continues).

The march is in protest to the public broadcaster refusing to air the party's election commercial. The SABC claims the advert, which features the slogan "destroy e-tolls physically", incites violence.

The matter was taken to the Independent Communications Authority of SA which ruled in favour of the broadcaster.

Ndlozi said it was the SABC's constitutional duty to air the EFF's advert and take the party's message to voters. He maintained the advert did not incite violence.

"The advert has been out but no member has thrown stones at the gantries."

He called on the broadcaster to serve the interests of the public and not the "elite of Luthuli House", the African National Congress head office.

Johannesburg metro police spokesman Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar said traffic would be affected around Auckland Park due to the march.

"The march will start on the corner of Empire and Victoria roads and proceed in a westerly direction on Empire towards the SABC," he said.

EFF MARCHERS ARRIVE AT SABC

EFF supporters arrived at the SABC offices in Auckland Park in Johannesburg on Tuesday where they waited for their leader Julius Malema to address them.

Malema was expected to speak to the crowd and then hand over a memorandum to SABC management.

There was a heavy police presence outside the SABC offices and certain sections of the reception area at Radio Park were cordoned off.

An Economic Freedom Fighters truck was parked outside.

The march is in protest against the public broadcaster refusing to air the party's election commercial.

The SABC claims the advert, which includes the slogan "destroy e-tolls physically", incites violence. The Independent Communications Authority of SA agreed with the SABC in a special hearing.

BEWARE OF ZUMA: MALEMA

(SUBS: REPEATS TO ALIGN SLUGS)

EFF leader Julius Malema told SABC acting chief operations officer Hlaudi Motsoeneng on Tuesday to change his ways or risk being thrown out "like a used condom".

"I was once in the same position, supporting and protecting Zuma. I was like you, I used to protect him," Malema told thousands of people outside the SABC building in Auckland Park, Johannesburg.

They marched on the public broadcaster's head office over its refusal to air an Economic Freedom Fighters' television election commercial.

Motsoeneng and SABC acting CEO Tian Olivier were there to receive a memorandum from the EFF.

Malema said: "I must warn you that he is going to throw you out like a used condom. Ask [Zwelinzima] Vavi and [Fikile] Mbalula. When it was time to dump us he did not think twice." Malema said Zuma only cared about himself.

"If you don't change your conduct, we will come here, put a truck outside and celebrate your dumping." The SABC claims the advert, which includes the slogan "destroy e-tolls physically", incites violence. The Independent Communications Authority of SA agreed with the SABC's decision when the EFF challenged the decision.

Malema accused Zuma of being a tribalist who only protected those who were Zulu and from KwaZulu-Natal.

Malema said the fact that Motsoeneng was neither Zulu nor from Zuma's home province made it easy for Zuma to dump him.

"Zuma is a tribalist. That is why there is strategic placing in government. They [Zulus] only trust themselves. The ANC has turned into a tribalist organisation."

He told Motsoeneng he would be sidelined after the election.

Malema said the ANC government would make an example of Motsoeneng in its bid for a clean government.

"I see a planned scenario when it happens, I will be in Parliament at the time and I will welcome your suspension."

In February, Public Protector Thuli Madonsela released a report titled "When governance and ethics fail", finding that Motsoeneng irregularly and rapidly increased the salaries of various staff members, resulting in the state broadcaster footing an unprecedented salary bill escalation of R29 million.

Her investigation dwelt on Motsoeneng's alleged irregular appointment and a crooked salary progression.
