ANC to picket outside Primedia offices
SANDTON - ANC to picket against EWN cartoon at Primedia.
Twitter is a buzz after news that the ANC is going to picket Primedia offices on 30 May.
This is set to take place at 8am in Sandton. The ‘Poephols and Clowns’ cartoon has angered some of the public.
@MyANC confirmed on Twitter that the ANC led by national spokesperson, Zizi Kodwa will hold a picket at the Primedia offices.
@shagucci tweeted: SA media is abusing the freedom of speech. Typical example #EWNcartoon
@3RAVO2 tweeted: #EWNcartoon #congressofclowns people offended by the cartoon are the people that blame Apartheid for everything, thus Truth = Racism

Typical partisan South African media. They lost the election through a ballot and now resorting to underhand dirty racist cheap shots. No wonder why racism is such a big issue in South Africa, big companies like Primedia support it. It’s only a matter of time before we start defending ourselves.
The boeretjies would say “dis hog tyd dat jy leer on saam met die res van die wereld te lag”
The anc have no humour, they are boorish and have a thuggish mentality.
There is nothing even slightly offensive in the cartoon.
My advice, grow up, sign up or forever be seen as a clown.
ANC must stop playing nice with this racists.
It’s surprising that after 20yrs of Freedom people still have to apologize for telling something as it is,ANC is misusing its power.It’s not other people’s fault that you’ve voted the Clowns and w’re being lead by the clown himself.
So are they now telling us that:
* Only black people voted for the ANC
* All clowns are black?
Perhaps the more important question is: Do we have press freedom and freedom of speech? These thing do not get tested when you publish the weekend’s sport results….
This cartoon depicts nothing but the sad truth. I wonder who the ANC voters (62%of South Africans) think they are protesting against when they take part in a service delivery protest…..very strange…..
