In today’s episode, we see the ANCYL having a go at FNB for removing their latest campaign videos from YouTube. FNB were originally defending the videos, but have now admitted to removing them. This is why.

Michael Jordaan sent out this tweet , defending the new ‘You Can Help’ campaign:

But now they seem to have taken the ANCYL’s threats to heart, and have removed the offending YouTube videos.

The ANCYL then called them cowardly and insisted they put the vids back online.

Here is the message FNB posted on their Facebook page:

“Is it true you have pulled/are pulling the ad campaign ANCYL is so het up about? If so, why?”

FNB Hi Gareth,

We have not pulled the advertising campaign. We have only removed some of the video’s from YouTube and our Blog.

FNB is shocked by the allegation of treason levied against it. It is remarkable in its callousness and insensitivity to the children surveyed, who spoke honestly and without fear of reprisal.

With censorship not being an option, the only alternative available to FNB in the face of such serious allegations was to take the responsible decision to withdraw the interview clips for the time being, in the best interest of the children concerned.

Regards,

RB Jacobs

Who knows which direction this will go from here. I think the big thing everyone wants to see are the videos. Do YOU have a copy of the videos? Email us at editor@2oceansvibe.com if you do.
