The City of Cape Town has demanded the EFF remove some of its elections banners, saying they flout bylaws and regulations.The City of Cape Town has given the EFF until the end of business on Tuesday to remove banners that were erected on street light poles, allegedly against the rules
Besides normal election posters, the EFF has erected banners featuring party leader Julius Malema’s face, with the words “Vote EFF”, on light poles around the city. The banners are on canvas and appear to be about double the size of typical posters. She cited Schedule 10 of the Outdoor Advertising and Signage By-law, which relates to the display of banners in Cape Town, saying these are only permitted for functions or events, not electioneering purposes.
“Accordingly, your current banner, at the entrance to the Waterfront, is unauthorised and is to be removed by the latest tomorrow [Tuesday] by 5pm, failing which the city’s contractor will remove such banner,” said Evans. In response, the EFF’s Godrich Gardee said: “I have told you that should you dare remove those banners, EFF will approach court on urgent basis on a Sunday and those cost would be punitive and personal to you and any other official you would have instructed to remove the banners.
