Speculations arose that the poster was erected in Zimbabwe, and phone calls flooded into the office of\u00a0www.mobserver.co.za<\/b>.<\/p>\n
The ANC<\/a>‘s National Media Spokesperson, Mr Dakota Legoete<\/a>, wrote it off as political bait, in a formal response.<\/p>\n When\u00a0www.mobserver.co.za<\/b>\u00a0contacted Mr Legoete’s office for a media enquiry, he responded with the following statement.<\/p>\n “It is purely malicious propaganda. It is frivolous and severely lacks substance, because it does not represent the ANC<\/a>‘s policies. The ANC remains a non-racial party, who devotes itself to live side by side with all nationalities and build a humane order. We believe that South Africa belongs to all who live in it.”<\/p>\n Also read:\u00a0Rugby player: \u2018Racist post is destroying my career\u2018<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n With election season creeping closer, more and more outrageous slogans of political bait will be airing themselves. Mr Legoete stated that the ANC will only make use of official campaign materials, as can be seen on their website.<\/p>\n When asked whether it is allowed for any political party to canvas in another country, Mr Legoete insisted that it was not.<\/p>\n “To put up posters in another country, would mean to undermine the sovereignty of that country and its political leaders.” He further went on to state that the ANC strives to always maintain a healthy and stable political relationship, on an international scale.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Parents frustrated by a lack of space in Middelburg schools<\/a><\/p>\n Traffic officers to appear in court for corruption<\/a><\/p>\n #TrafficAlert: Two dead in Kranspoort accidents<\/a><\/p>\n VIDEO: Two perish after truck jack-knifes<\/a><\/p>\n \u2022 Save our standby number (072 248 3855) and send us a WhatsApp message with the words \u201cAdd me\u201d to be added to our broadcast list.<\/p>\n \u2022 Like us on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>, follow us on\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 Subscribe to our\u00a0YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\nAlso read:<\/h3>\n
