I did this work to promote freedom of expression (duh...) as well as to attack the censoring of our media.
There's always been a bit of whoo-hah with regards to the freedom of the South African press, as well as ohther news madia. With our nation's main broadcaster, the SABC, having extremely strong political affiliations - the board was hand picked by our ever absent president himself, if you can believe that - the chances of a free and fair media in our country are virtually nil.
Case in point: at the recent ANC party elections in Polokwane (our ruling governmental party, for those who don't know), the only other broadcaster in our country - the independent E-TV - was banned from entering. Is it any wonder that virtually everyone I know prefers the E-TV news above it's dubious counterpart?
Anyway, this came with a poster - which was photographic, mostly - which you can see a small pic of only my These Creases blog, and a T-shirt. Oh, and it was drawn with the FXI (Freedom of Expression Institute) in mind.
