This is the reason for the boycott of "The Fish and Chip Company" (which is not a boycott of fish and chips, as such).
It is because this company decided to get involved in politics, in an insulting way.

Any proud South African should boycott food which is marketed through disgusting marketing gimmicks that seek to undermine the very same people it is seeking to attract,” said SACP Moses Mabhida Provincial Secretary Themba Mthembu.**** ** ** The SACP in the Moses Mabhida Province commends the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) for being sensitive enough not to parade the President’s family in a manner which was advanced by the Fish and Chips company advert.**** ** ** *Ends* ** ** *For more information please contact Mr Themba Mthembu at 083 303 6988* ** ** ** ** -- You are subscribed.
