Party burns Country Flag on TV ad.

Critics have labeled the DA’s election campaign advertisement, featuring the burning of the South African flag, as distasteful and unsettling. Launched on Sunday, the ad depicts the South African flag in the backdrop, accompanied by the opening title “This election is about survival.” Against the backdrop of the burning flag, a voiceover asserts, “The ANC will lose the majority vote for the first time in 30 years but will do anything to stay in power.”
