The urgent application will sit at South Gauteng High Court tomorrow at 12h00. The painting showing the ANC President private parts is not only insulting but impugns the ANC President constitutional right to dignity. **** ** ** The portrait is the work of those who hate the ANC and want to denigrate the ANC President under the disguise of artistic freedom of expression. The portrait is the abuse of artistic freedom of expression. What kind of freedom of expression when the portrait seeks to humiliate the individual and private life of the ANC President? We can only conclude that the portrait is silly and borders on insanity by Goodman Gallery and City Press. **** ** ** All over the world freedom of expression has limits and no amount of infantile posturing by Goodman Gallery and City Press will stop the ANC for correcting wrong doing. The ANC President is a victim of those who seek to distract the ANC from its agenda of transformation. The portrait is morally unjustifiable and salacious to the extreme. We are confident that the ruling tomorrow would be in favour of the ANC. It will expose the selfish agenda of those who hate the ANC. It is also a sad state for Goodman Gallery and City Press to resort to degenerating into tasteless caricature for the sake of grabbing attention. **** ** ** *For more information contact Dumisa Ntuli** at 0715260598 or 011 227 9303, email to [email protected] *** ** ** -- Gugu Ndima +27 76 783 1516 -- You are subscribed.
