The Freedom of Expression Institute has
come out and stated that the ANC’s reaction to the FNB advert is showing
intolerance of views which might be uncomfortable and critical.
FXI’s
Executive Director Phenyo Butale said the ANC is free to disagree with and
criticize FNB, but it has done in a way that is threatening debate and
discussion.
Butale adds that in their view FNB was only
giving a voice to a view from a young South Africans that appears to be a
useful contribution to our national debate to not normally hear enough of this
voices and opinions from young people.
Butale adds that the FXI believe that it is
useful and valuable to bring such views to the fore it means they are critical.
Butale furthermore FXI thinks that the criticism
of the FNB advertisement from the ANC and its alliance partners is really a
sign of intolerance of views which might be really uncomfortable and critical.
