  • You Simply Cannot Believe This ANC Election Billboard Spelling Error

    We’ve seen some creative reworkings of election posters in the build-up to the elections in May.

    The DA’s billboards have also had a pretty short lifespan.

    Then there was that time that the ANC’s less than ideal poster placement made it look like they wanted South Africans to grow weed together.

    I’m okay with that.

    The latest billboard fail is funny for all the wrong reasons.

    Here’s News24:

    An ANC election billboard in Port Elizabeth has the Twitter streets crying for a proofreader.

    YouTuber and DA councillor Renaldo Gouws, on Monday evening, spotted a visible error on one of the African National Congress’s election billboards in PE.

    For weeks now, Cyril Ramaphosa’s smiling face has greeted South Africans across the country, urging citizens to vote for the ANC and “let’s grow South Africa together”.

    Now it looks like he wants South Africa to grow “togher”.

    The worst part is that that billboard had to go through a lot of checks and channels before it made it up there.

    Apparently, it couldn’t be confirmed whether “autocorrect was offline during the design process, or if the ANC didn’t order enough giant black Ts and Es”.

    What we do know is that many more of these billboards and posters have popped up all over Nelson Mandela Bay.

    FYI, Togher is an actual word in Gaelic that means “causeway”. Joe Togher was an Irish republican who died in 1974.

    Maybe the causeway reference was a flashback to that time Ramaphosa tried to take a train.

    Either way, I’m sure the Irish appreciate the support.
