This Fish and Chips advertisement was supposed to be aired on the SABC on Monday but the corporation banned it citing that it implied the presidency endorsed the product.
The SABC's spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago said in a statement:"We are of the view that the advert implied an endorsement of the product sold by the Fish and Chip Company."
The commercial shows President Zuma and his family having dinner. A woman seated in a long dining room table says to Zuma:"Oh Zuzulicious, we're having fish and chips from Shabba today."
An elated Zuma responds:"Eat up honey bunch, there is a lot of good food here. It's from the Fish and Chip Company. There are many of you in this house, at only R25 even Pravin will approve this."
Kganyago claimed that the SABC did not ban the advert as the media had implied.
"The SABC reserves the right to exercise editorial control over all content, as per our trading terms, licence conditions, and public broadcast mandate,"he said.
Creative director of Metropolitan Republic Group (which made the commercial), Paul Warner said the agency was told that the ad had been banned because it was "degrading to the president."
"They said our [SABC] bosses have made the decision not to flight it," he said.
