Imagine if the DA could burn the flag when they are not the ruling party, what would happen when they are in power
Imagine being so upset by a flag advert when your country has just gone through a state capture .. July riots that killed hundreds and cause billions in damages .. mass corruption .. imagine being so ignorant you get upset by a advert using a metaphor to show what SA is going through rather than being upset by the atrocities happening Daily like over 80 murders a day ... imagine being so unbelievably ignorant and that much of a useful idiot ...
Oh wait you might not need to imagine
They were supposed to burn their old apartheid flag they were using before 1994
Exactly 💯
Go to school ...?

You are so funny!
I can't understand what is wrong with some people! The DA is NOT burning the flag and neither is it advocating for the burning of the flag! It just shows that some people are unable to use logic and common sense. Most unfortunate and very disappointing.
I think we can safely say South Africans are stupid, I won’t be surprised if the ANC gets another majority this election
Disappointing to who ?? To white ppl ?? This is South Africa 🇿🇦 the sooner you ppl realise that you are settlers the better! Some people you mean black ?? A time will come when your people will humbled and will know that you are settlers in Africa
you will never understand it because your common sense is not common at all the flag doesnt belong to any political party. there are people who are not politicaly affiliated at all yet very loyal to their flag. then comes you with unpopular common sense that has nothing commontrying to understand people. try and understand yourself first.
SABC cares more about a CGI flag than actual south Africans 😅
SABC = ANC mouthpiece
You haven't listened to SABC 3.
SABC = Apartheid mouthpiece
DA=NP of 1948

@@phumlamazibuko3003 DA has become more diverse, it has changed same as how ANC was once for the people now it is for itself. Times change and that flag burning is a forecast of the future, If you do not see what is happening in this country then you live under a rock.The complaints about this ad is just a power play to pull away votes, desperation because the ANC is losing power for once. Open your eyes guys please.
I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT FREEDOM COMES WITH RESPONSEBILITIES SO IS FREEDOM OF SPEECH
Who can educate this woman about red colour of the flag. The red colour represent the blood of those who died fighting the injustices that were brought by racists colonialism and imperialism bigots . This red colour remind us of Steve Biko , Solomon Mahlangu . I used to show Mercy when Julius Malema insult zile Hellen and now i understand why.
And Julius malemas ideology is based on the comunist Marxist ideas .. go research who Karl Marx was hahaha a raving comunist and racist to the core 🤣 but it can be used against others so Malema uses the ideology...
Since when ANC United citizens ANC is most racist party.
More than NP?
DA is the most racist party
@@oratile7205
😂😂😂😂
How so??
Mandela thought he United ppl after he sold out.
Can't understand why did they not burn the ANC flag? Why the National flag?
It's because you are not understanding the meaning of the advert and it's symbolism. Showing the ANC flag burning would be stupid because that would imply that the DA is saying that the ANC is going to destroy itself. The advert is saying that an ANC/EFF coalition would destroy (burn down) our country, which is represented by the flag. People keep saying that the DA should have burnt the ANC flag but that's not what this is about and wouldn't make sense. In any case, there would be a full blown civil war if the DA showed the ANC flag burning.
Nobody burned the flag in reality. It's virtual, fake ... like in a movie!
They did not burn the flag, they showed the flag burning representing a burning South Africa, come on this is basic visual literacy which was taught in Primary school
@@ncedipholosi8526 Unfortunately a lot of ANC supporters are not on that level of thinking, as simple as it is lol. Why do you think they keep voting for thieves who steal from them in plain sight. The ANC likes dumb people, they are cut from the same cloth lol.
@@ncedipholosi8526 LOL that's the dumbest excuse I've seen so far🤣🤣🤣. Trying to defend nonsense makes yal look really dumb.
They burned the flag because they don't respect it.
They could've burned a map and still got the same message accross
Why is the SABC funded by the tax payer ... ?
ANC already burns south Africa
You remove it, you do not burn the flag, or the police cars.
@@mthokozisilanga4497 NOBODY BURNT THE FLAG. It is a digital flag and it is symbolic of our country burning and being destroyed by a possible ANC/EFF coalition. I repeat, NOBODY ACTUALLY BURNT THE FLAG.
@@user-tz5fl9is6mthe same notion of a flag burning is nonsense.
@@sharingfamspace3156so you have seen the full advert ? Or speaking from a point of ignorance?
That advert is a clear indicator of how arrogant DA is.
We missing the point they don't burn the flag they try to show us how South Africa is on fire
Their example backfired next time they should learn to use their brains that flag doesnt belong to certain parties but represents the people of SA
All the lawyers agree that this advert does not break the rules of ICASA. Freedom of speech is part of our constitution. I am so glad that the DA advert is getting so much attention. Excellent advert! DA will restore the flag that the ANC burnt. Clement is getting a lesson in journalism from this professor 😂
Arrogant advert. It's not freedom of speech it's too much freedom. If Mandela was alive, he would have realized his mistake. Forgive ppl who never showed any remorse. Very big mistake.
😂😂unless they have a private army I don't see how they will get to do anything in SA...
😢Do they have a private army??!
@@ColGaddafiif at all possible, just a lil' bit louder please!😊
The racists think they are clever.
All I'm saying is if this was done in the United States of America, DA would be in big trouble. Burning 🔥 a national flag is a big no no. All the white people denying that, knows very well that this is no acceptable
Oh come on! Who cares whether or not it's a fact that the ANC will fall below 50% - this is pathetic - we have much more important things to worry about in this country!
I like how the journalist articulates his views.
Your service is just as bad as the ANC so what is the diffrence
They are the ANC propaganda channel
It is wrong of any country or any party to burn a flag no matter what
True as far as I remember that is very unacceptable in any country. But white south Africans and their arrogance, doing as they please. They know very well this is wrong
Yes the flag was not burnt .. it was a computer generated advert ... people are upset out of ignorance.. I just watch the advert I'm shocked ! Nothing to be mad about at all !!! Just political rhetoric
According to which law?
@@aaronrathbone6693 computer generated advert depicting our flag burning.
But the last Zuma-July riots, our own people burned downed factories an shopping malls, everything, so which is worse, burning a flag in peaceful protest or burning down everything else? Help me understand please?
SABC really messed up here. Who told them they have this mandate?
You moss
ANC
ANC propaganda channel
It's an arrogant advert and DA has lost quite a number of votes.
@@ColGaddafi it's not arrogant, the truth doesn't care about your feelings.
Who cares? it's an advert. I just want my toilet to flush after my morning dump.
*FOOL!!!!!!!!!* IF YOU DONT LOVE THIS COUNTRY, LEAVE.
@@viwembande9497 Funny you should say that. The main point of this advert is to encourage South Africans to vote against an ANC/EFF coalition to SAVE our country from burning! The ANC leaders do not love this country - they love to line their own pockets at the expense of our people and our economy.
@@viwembande9497 that’s the point I was making, I just didn’t think using the words Pit toilet where young children die was going to make my point, my bad
@viwembande9497 if you want to be ignorant by choice don't force other to be just because you are unbelievably so ...
*THE FLAG DOES NOT BELONG TO ANY POLITICAL ORGANISATION, IT BELONGS TO SOUTH AFRICANS. YOU ATTACK THE FLAG YOU ATTACK SOUTH AFRICANS THAT GENUINELY LOVE THIS COUNTRY. AND YES WE HAVE MANY PROBLEMS BUT BURNING THE FLAG IS A DISGRACE AND ANYONE THAT SUPPORTS THAT IS A FOOL AND IS WELCOMED TO LEAVE*
Do you even know what that flag stands for?
The burning has been done already by the ANC! The DA can bring the flag back to life so we can be again proud of our country!
ANC has not burned the flag.
The flag and what it symbolizes is something beyond ANC.
*FOOL!!!!!* The flag does not belong to the ANC or Any other political party. If you are not happy in SA leave and be an immigrant .
Proud of what it's wrong what you are advocating of burning our flag.
@@MrLechesa Yes, the ANC has not burned the flag, and neither has the DA - it's symbolism. HOWEVER, the ANC has destroyed our economy, jobs and livelihoods and an ANC/EFF coalition could be the final nail in the coffin that the DA is simply warning people about. So I wouldn't worry about a 30 second advert showing a digital flag burning and being restored - I would be more worried about the future of our nation and our economy - OUR SURVIVAL!
@@MrLechesaway worse, the ANC has burned the country
What about Bubget insurance advert of Faf using the flag as an underwear?
That patriarch wena man. That shows his pride for his nation, you cannot compare it with burning a flag.
"The National Flag is beyond politics" touch not the Flag. DA's hellbent frustration towards ANC is causing them to loose themselves.
🤞
How do people not understand the metaphor?
Also, how can you worship the symbol more than the thing it represents.
It's a 30% pass mark . And one of the worst standard of education in the world
How do you save a flag by burning it 😂😂😂😂
You are very funny tho... 😂😂😂😂
SABC is fed by ANC
It's tax payer funded .. but ANC controlled
SABC is ANC
These two guys could well work together. Maximum respect amongst the 2 of them.
The propaganda is plain and easy to see for those with common sense and critical thinking ... clear as daylight
It is a Predictive Statement, arguing the factual merits of this statement is missing the point.
You guys in the media stuff up every day, so please give us a break.
I cannot believe his argument.
Show us the adv then we can judge from there.
It's already on their TH-cam channel
Jho I just watched it on the Democratic alliance page ! I'm shocked !! There was nothing at all to be mad or upset about !!! Nothing !
I don't see what people are getting so upset about, get over yourselves!!
That is clearly not "THE SOUTH AFRICAN FLAG" The DA is burning, they are only trying to send a strong message to those who don't vote and to the ignorant people who Keep voting for the ANC when clearly nothing will change for the better under their leadership!! WAKE UP PEOPLE.
If Anc surporters once burnt a flag and the DA watched that whenever, it shouldn't have watched and ignored.
They need to publicly broadcast the ad until those who don’t wanna see it,see it.
Is this the same SABC televised EFF on national TV singing "kill the boer, kill the farmer"????
It was a live broadcast and Julius said "Kiss the Boer" Kiss the Boer the farmer!!! Mnwaaa mnwaaa😘😘
@@thecryptoguy8381 and DA banned graphic flag not the real made flag
That song has been there all along ,it was not composed by EFF. Secondly I think whites have been given to much freedom . They have places like Orania , during a court case they came with apartheid flags.
@@mlungisimasina1908 So what? are you suggesting that a tiny town with a population of 2500 people is representative of all whites in South Africa?
That's some really obtuse thinking mfwethu.
People will always Differ of Opinion
AS A REPORTER YOU SHOULD NOT TAKE SIDES ON PUBLIC DEBATE ESPECIALLY AS A HOST
Indeed. The DA is out of order. The National Flag is the National Symbol.lt is a symbol of unity. In my opinion the DA leader Mr S.H level of thinking is quetionable. The National Flag represent Diversity and Nation building. It does not belong to the ANC but the Nation.
The DA refused to employ me in Tshwane after i applied for a job i was even over qualified for and employed a white lady on their so called waiver policy because she was not even qualified for that post.
Today, as an entrepreneur i made a submission to Tshwane innovation hub for my business can benefit from the program and i was rejected with no reason, their economic development MMC ran away from me without providing for a reason as to why i've been rejected. DA is a racist party.
This SABC is an agent of ANC
These two leaders far outshine the rest. Wish they would combine and move quicker.
Why not make such big topic and screening of ANCs corruption ? Im not against ANC but corruption im against .
Well, ANC's corruption is there for everyone to see, whereas, DA's totalitarianism is understated...people are not that stupid...
It's a misdirection to make the simple people emotional and upset ... the facts are no rules of the broadcaster was broken and no laws
Helen is delusional 😂 rest MaGoGo
I don't like DA but adverd simply say ANC is burning the country but they DA is unburnining it simple as that.colussion of ANC and SABC too much problem
find the the defination of a clever black
It doesn't matter whether is SABC content or not,the fact is the advert is calling and encouraging violence,so the SABC is right not advertising something that encourage violence
Can SABC name the employees that rejected the Advert ?? We need them to pay the fines .. we tax payers are sick of paying for the political appointments of the ANC and their stuffups
This country has been burning for the past 30years ,where was the SABC,where was the casa regulations
She compares a whole political party with protesters in her example which ludicrous. No nation in the world would allow what the DA wants to manipulate as concern. A win for the DA is a failure of the revolution and a win for colonization irregardless you favour the ANC or not, yes the ANC has failed the people thus people are warranted to remove it. The struggle was not the ANCs but the people's struggle and still the people's struggle.
An Excellent advert - 100%
The advert is to draw support but with this one you have just lost my vote.
Nobody must temper with the national Flag, eregardless of your anger. The national flag is not for the ANC. Freedom of speech also goes with responsibility.
SABC is full of crap
They are sticking to the 'Nelson Mandela' mandra

Well said @Helen! The SANC - brilliant! This Clement interviewer cannot seriously say that the DA is being factually incorrect when they say the ANC will go under 50% - he is speaking absolute drivel & embarrassing himself!
This prof is saying the DA can lie is no problem.

Bosa is for South Africans, ANC is for cadres
You can not at any point burn the flag. That does not demonstrate patriotism patriotism.
Vote DA, ActionSA, BOSA or Rise Mzansi!
If you want jobs and economic growth!
If you want poverty vote for ANC, EFF, MK
No amount of scare mongering will stop the people from voting for the return of their ancestral #LAND on #29May2024
You just gave us a list of parties that are sufficiently captured by capital to be against the interests of the supermajority, you realise that right?
@biko8229 go to Zimbavwe there's thousands of unused hectares with burnt farm houses and nice unserviced tractors there waiting for someone to do commercial farming. Or did you want to have 3000 goats that eat everything in their path? Why didn't you do a land claim in the last 30 years? I know why because you didn't have any proof of land ownership. The thousands of land claim people that succeded took money compensation anyway, they didn't actually want land just free money. They then bought fancy cars and now the money is gone 🤣🤣🤣
Makes sense.. SABC controlled by the ANC
The South African flag means the unity of South Africans. Are the DA not happy with the unity of South Africa?
DA, the ad is a disaster. Accept that. Apologize. Replace the flag in the ad with a map of South Africa. And move on
They are too proud they wont
So that you will cry and say they burned South Africa and not the flag again?
Zuma MK & DA is Bigest Treat for ANC
...Zille you defend the flag by burning? That's the moronic thing l have heard in a thousand years...
Eish! It is an ad symbolizing the burning of SA. Are you saying our country is not burning? All our SOE's are failing. Unemployment and poverty are skyrocketing. Violent crime and corruption at an all time high. Wake up! Where is your outrage about the REAL issues our people are facing?!
Probably because you don't actualy understand
@aaronrathbone6693 do you understand?
@andilebrunososibo4126 yes I did not get upset without the facts .. I watched the avert .. it's is laughable that anyone has a problem with it when state capture has happened when July riots have happen and mass corruption on a every say basis happeneds .. .... it's destroying South africa .. those are things people should care about but the very small minded will loose it over a advert hahaha
Thank you SABC, those who hate South Africa but enjoy its riches they love hence they will crirticise our country but he will go nowhere because they will not survive anywhere. Southa African flag is not ANC flag. WHo is SABC, it shows this gentleman is a spokesperson of DA. My brother your job is not to give use your unresearched views, you are to get expects and resolve the matter. You are there not for opinions but to inform. The editor of this programme must fire this palloka and he will easily get ajod a separatist proxy and PRO, again is there no briefiefing onSABS on stories you cover, what is unfolding here is very stupid, and they need to fire you right away.
Now the DA will make us vote ANC, the DA just shot them self's on the foot, they must forget about my vote.
...Clement, if you were a leader of thos country, South Africa can crumble in a second. Try and burn Egypt or Algeria or Pakistan flag and tell me whether you'll still be working for a public broadcaster and at worst whether you'll see the following week. Other countries' response would be worse than the SABC. Free speech has limitations.
DA handlers thought black government was going to fail within a year but now they can see time is going and day feels the pressure and now DA ia panicking, they must burn apartheid flag
But the black Government is failing?? Half of the country if not more is jobless and crime is higher then ever. Only black people who are not failing is the Fat Cats stealing all the money. And that is why we are driving on ground roads instead of tar. Stop smoking your weed motopo its making you stupid.
okay we need to stop watching SABC
This Clement has been smoking glue or is just singing for his stomach 🤔
I know But still it is wrong. No matter what
Clement seemingly a bit touched about the ad on a personal level...or is it just me?
Typical DA behavior
Mathe vusumzi i did vote for dem in 2016 but for what they did to our flag i wil never give them my vote

What exactly are you saying uena mamamama😂😂😂😂😂😂
Shame on you SABC
...Zille, l am not a supporter of the ANC, but Cyril has a point about you; the DA, this time around. There's a difference between the ANC and the Government. Don't be stupid, these are not one and the same thing.

Truth hurts ANC got chest pains over this ad cause they running out of time and votes well done DA
The burning of a flag is scary I won't forgive DA 😢
U have not seen it though 😂

Have you seen the Add?
It is just an ugly flag a piece of material at least it is not the killing of a human like the ANC does to so many people...think of children and old people dying from not having water to drink. The ANC is responsible for the loadshedding and water shedding a far much more serious crime than a burning of a flag
@@leslenesantana7575 yes
Burning flag during a protest is news and not an Advert, whether you like it or not when it happens it has to be reported isn't?

That’s y Linda is always reporting lies in senzo case
I currently i am not happy with the current government but as an African i am greatful for what the government of Mbeki and Mandela did especially change of constitution, the national logo, the flag, national anthem, rename of province together with government facilities so that they can represent African icon not jan van reebek or paul kruger. Now the party have dropped the ball due to greediness and selfishness but for DA to govern they need to earn our trust and burning of national flag you are literally dividing us.
I did vote for da in 2016 but for dey did to our flag i won't vote for them again
SABC IS NOT INDEPENDENT THEY ARE ANC. SABC IS UNFAIR...the ad message is clear, the is no hate or division la.
This person so called analyst is pure racist to thr core, how do you allow public broadcaster to be a channel to degrade the very principle of nation building. You could see how difficult to explain her facts.
How is she an expect?? That was embarrassing. She was not objective in this. She's clearly a DA voter
When you see someone who is poor about to take a bite from the little food they have, just imagine RamaSofa taking that food out of their mouth and eating it. Our country is being destroyed. There is almost nothing left. Seriously just try to get the point. Nobody is saying anything about Zuma wanting to SCRAP our hard fought constitution, but when someone shows us what is really happening then people are up in arms. Think of this. Has every cent of tax you've ever paid even been enough to pay for one minister's car? One corruption scandal? We all work our butts off and we pay the tax willingly because we care about our country, and some comrade just stuffs it into their pocket.
You may not like what she said, and it may not suit your ideaology or opinion, but it is the truth. Nobody is degrading the principle of nation building. This advert is not even about burning a flag. Please try to think out of the box. This advert is about the fact that an ANC/EFF coalition government would result in the total destruction (burning down) of our country. Can you not understand this?
DA is the coward, you conceed to lose before election can happen, you saying Anc/Eff coalition and that is your imagination because Anc and Eff are gunning for outright wins,so coalition will only be wise to discuss the election results in the form of coalition
So why are they burning it?. It huge disrespectful coming from the DA. We haven't forgotten what they said, after black people where slotten by the Indians in peonix
JOBS?
1. Scrap the toxic labour laws.
2. Scrap BBEE and AA!
3. Protect private property.
4. Promote FREE ENTERPRIZE and competition.
5. Reduce the size of government.
6. Professionalize public servants. (NO CADRES).
Im also concerned on the decision to burn the flag... now you're talking about its a digital flag. Yol have lost the plot
This is why I do not watch any of the SABC channels.
I understand because you belong to BBC
Though ANC HAS DESTROYED SA AMAZING
Small things amuses small minds all of you who reject this ad is narrow minded this ad shows how the a n c is burning south africa into corruption I love this ad
I enjoyed the interview and sentiments of participants
DA, stop digging. Your comms department has messed up again.
Lol really ? They got more airtime than the advertisement ever would have already ... also when people realize the advertisement was really just computer generated lol
The relationship between the SABC and SA government allows for the broadcaster to protect the flag of our country.
Only idiots and ignorant lost causes will celebrate a corrupt governments overreach and contravention of South african law and the constitution.... how dumb can one be.
Celebrating censorship bahahahahaha 30 % pass mark shining so strong here .... hahahahahahahahahahahah
🤣😂😂😂🤣😂😂
I agree with the SABC. DA must burn ANC flag and not the National Flag. No matter how you look at it, our National Flag is historical and should be respected. DA must deal with its issues with ANC.
How is the flag historical? This flag bring racism, BBBEE, corruption, state capture etc.etc.
This is a joke. Theres nothing wrong with the advert. SABC has obviously been captured by ANC.
Burning our flag is an insult and 29/05 will respect our flag by voting out DA
It's just go to show how ignorant ANC supporters are. The DA is saying that the ANC is burning the country. Obviously as a zombie ANC supporter, you don't understand that. And Obviously you didn't even listen to what the advert is saying. You're just a blind fool that believes everything your masters say.
