First National Bank is now counting the cost of backing down on its
advertising campaign that saw it apologising to the African National Congress.
This after broadcasting video clips of teenagers talking about politics.
On Friday, the two organisations released a joint statement in which the ANC accepted the banking giant’s apology.
This episode appears to indicate the ANC is now able to force large
businesses, like banks, not to be critical in any way.
FNB was forced to make what appeared to be a humiliating apology and made a
promise that a similar incident would not happen again.
