The Democratic Alliance leadership in the KwaZulu-Natal province was expected on Wednesday night 6 October to demand that provincial chair Dean Macpherson retract controversial election posters in Phoenix, which referred to residents who moved to defend the area during violence in July as “heroes”.
According to the DA, there were plans to put up 100 sets of the posters in other parts of the city. Even as controversy brewed around the posters this week, Macpherson defended them, saying the message had been approved by the municipality.has been told that the posters went out with the knowledge of both national and provincial leaders.
“We have called a meeting tonight because this has affected all campaigns,”one party leader said. “Many in the provincial executive were not aware of these posters and now we have to answer for them. The people involved must [be brought to] account. This did not go through the province and yet it has the potential to jeopardise our entire campaign. The last thing we want is for KwaZulu-Natal to be blamed for the DA sinking the campaign.
At least we know the DA's stance regarding the Phoenix massacre. at least they didn't try to steal our votes.The stand with the racist indians.its up to the black people of EThekwini to decide.

The must take it down No because its the truth.. VoetsekANC The posters reflect what the DA really is, which is racist.

There are currently repercussions affecting Indians who had nothing to do with murders, which r likely to spread.
