Sowetan Freedom Day ad: parody or reality check?
Do you think the controversial Sowetan advert parodying Martin Luther King’s ‘I have a dream’ speech should have been banned by the SABC? Should it have been run at all by the Sowetan when Freedom Day is supposed to be a celebration or was the newspaper giving South Africans a reality check?
- I still have a dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up against each other and erupt into an oasis of crime, grime and home to racial attacks and injustice.
I have a dream that my children will be repeatedly raped, sodomised and left to fend for themselves long after HIV and AIDS have taken me away.
I have a dream today. I have a dream that every farmer shall be brutally murdered and every farm worker thrown into a lion’s den.
Let chaos ring from the streets of South Africa – and when this happens we will all join hands and sing: Free at last! Free at last! Thank god all mighty! We ‘are free at last!’
What have you done with your freedom South Africa? Don’t let it go to waste – cherish it.
This Freedom Day message sadly brought to you by Sowetan – the soul choice.See also https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/196/90/14500.html
