What did South Africans say?

South Africans were not impressed with the billboards.

Till Debt Do Us Part posited:

"Plot twist. What if Solidarity is collaborating with the ANC? The masses are tired of the ruling party. It can only make sense to agitate and make ANC heroes in this narrative."

Kgopotso Thobejane said:

"South Africa has been the most race-regulated country in the world for some time now. It got worse after 1948."

Thembi Skosana said:

"Put them in the sky, even. You're not going to win anything."
