Phoenix has been a key area to campaign as political parties descended on the Durban North suburb to convey messages of unity.
Recently, the DA came under fire after it put up posters in Phoenix that were described as fanning racial tension in the area.
The posters, which read “The ANC called you racists” and “The DA calls you heroes”, were slammed, with claims that they referred to the murder of 36 black South Africans in Phoenix during the civil unrest that engulfed KwaZulu-Natal and parts of Gauteng in July. After a huge uproar, the posters were taken down by the party last week.
