Zuma's Had His Chips

BUT THE SABC DOESN'T THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IT

An animated advert for The Fish & Chips Company by the very talented Mdu Ntuli has been pulled by the national broadcaster apparently because it is deemed to degrade the president. The advert features the presidential family sitting down to enjoy a meal of fish and chips, so cheap that even finance minister Pravin Gordhan "would approve this". The advert's withdrawal is the latest episode in the SABC's censoring any ridicule of President Zuma in the run up to his (as yet uncontested) re-election bid at the ruling party's caucus in Mangaung in December.

Previously, any derogatory terms such as "Zumaville" or "President Zuma's £*ç*!ng R248m Nkandla Heist" were censored from the broadcaster's TV and radio stations. Announcers and commentators were urged to use the preferred term "President Zuma's Nkandla Residence" instead.
