ANC accuses DA of destroying, removing election posters
25 April 2019
As electioneering kicks into overdrive with a week and a half left until voting day on May 8, the ANC has accused the DA of destroying and removing their election posters.
In a statement by the ANC on Thursday, spokesperson Dakota Legoete called on the DA to come clean and admit that they had established teams whose main task is to remove or deface ANC campaign material, even if it is in violation of the Electoral Act.
"The ANC is appalled by the consistent defacing and removing of ANC campaign material across the country," Legoete said.
"ANC activists and supporters have been sharing on social media various instances of opposition supporters deliberately removing ANC election campaign posters. Initially, in the interest of stability, we regarded these actions as the behaviour of silly misguided individuals.
