DA LAYS CHARGES AGAINST THE ANC
I don’t know if I want to laugh or cry.
This from politicsweb.co.za:
DA Lays Criminal Charge Against ANC – MAS536/02/2009
The Democratic Alliance today laid criminal charges against the ANC – case number MAS536/02/2009 at the Middelburg Police Station.
On Saturday, 21 February 2009, the DA became aware of a fake DA pamphlet being distributed (see below) by the ANC in the Steve Tshwete Municipality. According to the DA’s information a Ms Jaenette Mahlangu, an ANC candidate in a coming by-election, distributed the pamphlet to learners at the Middelburg Mine Combined School on Friday last week.
In the pamphlet, the DA is portrayed as a racist party, claiming that the DA wants to bring back the days of ‘permits’, in order to fight the ‘Swart Gevaar’. The pamphlet ends with the words ‘Warning: Do not show this pamphlet to your maids and garden boys … we need their votes’.
This kind of Mugabe-style propaganda is unacceptable and illustrates the extent to which the ANC will go to cling to power. The ANC knows that the only way they can maintain dominance over the electorate is by playing race politics. They are a disgrace to our society.
The Electoral Act prohibits persons from ‘impersonating’ other parties and or candidates and prohibits the distribution of false information. As such the DA has laid criminal charges against the ANC and has submitted a formal complaint to the Provincial Electoral Officer, Mr Steve Ngwenya.
It is becoming more and more apparent that the ANC are resorting to intimidation tactics to secure votes in this election and are clearly threatened by the growth that the DA has shown in traditional ANC strong-holds. The DA wont be intimidated and neither must the community be intimidated, we will defend our democratic space with all our worth.
The DA is committed to a non-racial South Africa, free from crime and corruption whereby every South African can achieve their dreams within an equal open opportunity society.
Statement issued by Anthony Benadie MPL, Democratic Alliance Provincial Leader, February 23 2009
Did you catch that warning at the end?
It’s too much.
This place is just wild!
But I love it anyway.
[thanks jase]

What a lame-ass attempt – it’s so obvious it’s a fake and put together by someone with only 2 brain cells.

Do we honestly think they will find those responsible. And can you actually lay that against the ANC? There is a massive divide between what you know and what you can prove. Where is the proof? Sadly… this kind of propaganda will continue. But such a poor bit of writing… had to be Malema

OMG… that’s the worst thing I have seen in years.. Shocking… No wonder they are trying to stop our people in foreign country’s to vote. THE ANC IS SCARED…. Not even Uncle Eugene will believe that one… The chances of him and Robert Mugabe sitting in a kakhuis in Ventersdorp smoking a “peacepyp” is better than this crap.
LOL.

I am not surprised its very much like ANC and Malema style of playing the not the ball.
Corruption flows within the blood to all ANC members. No one can stop them unless all South African really vote for a Change. I wish I.E.C can take a strong action and also law must take its course. The best penalty for what they did is nothing other than to ban the ANC from running the Election or all their votes must be counted from that region.

This must be fraud of the first degree .This needs to get to the media and expose these people who are trying to exploit people who are vulnerable .
What goes round ,comes round and the truth fortunately is so obvious.Surely the relevant authorities should be notified.
Besides the appalling English,the jist of the pamphlet is ludicrous.
