Busiswa recently slammed the City Of Johannesburg official Twitter account after they shared a post about illegal adverts. The account took to social media to encourage residents to remove illegal street ads.
The account posted a picture of law enforcement figures removing an ad which was placed on a street pole illegally. Their caption read:
“Remove that illegal advert. Community members are more than welcome to remove illegal adverts. #JoburgBylaws”
Busiswa was one the many people who were not impressed by the poster. She argued that people were unemployed and doing their best to make ends meet during the pandemic. She said:
“It’s a PANDEMIC & a LOCKDOWN!! People NEED WORK!!! Yho!”
Social media users weighed in with their thoughts. Twitter user KeSeRomeo said:
“Such bylaws needs to be revised, where are you expecting that person to advertise vele?”
Orah_c said:
“Honestly, they’re focusing on the wrong things. That’s someone’s bread, is the sign bothering anyone’s livelihood?”
Mokone_eddie said:
“What is an ILLEGAL advert, though? Sounds quite heartless to kill the small man. DSTV installations, Plumbing services, photo services, rental rooms, domestic workers, paving, handymen services....ALL of these don't have BUDGETS like you to advertise on SABC”
MissB20_10 said:
“Tell foreigners to remove them they're the ones pasting all these illegal adverts they even do it infront of police angithi our country is for the entire world”
