Minister Zizi Kodwa said the DA's advert depicting a burning South African flag had potential to 'sow division'.election advert showed the flag as “a symbolic representation of the future that awaits South Africa if people do not vote for the DA”, party leader John Steenhuisen explained at the launch of the advert.
“On a night in which we celebrated 30 years of sporting excellence at the South African Sport Awards, with athletes who have raised our flag high, the Democratic Alliance decided to offend and insult the nation by showing a political advertisement depicting the burning of our national flag,” he said.
“As custodian of all national symbols, which include the South African flag, I strongly condemn the Democratic Alliance advertisement which depicts the burning of the South African flag.”He said the advert offends the gains the country has made as a free and non-racial democracy, as well as the efforts of those who fought for this freedom.
