• Re: Misinformation on IEC TV ads for voter registration including the ad ‘if you don't vote, you can't complain’

    Dear Chairperson Dr Brigalia Bam,

    A recent television ad for the campaign for voter registration by the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) has a line which implies that non-voting South African citizens have no power to bring about change in this country. ‘If you don't vote, you can't complain’ shows the short-sightedness and arrogance of the current political system, which attempts to convince South Africans that voting is the most effective and only way to bring about change in this country.
