The Democratic Alliance (DA) has taken responsibility for the “mystery billboard” that was erected on the side of a building in Port Elizabeth on Wednesday‚ saying it was considering legal action after it was removed. The billboard‚ which was branded in African National Congress (ANC) colours and bore the words “Danny Jordaan proudly brought to you by Jacob Zuma”‚ was displayed across the top part of a doctor’s surgery in Hiles Road‚ at the intersection with Kempston Road – slap-bang between two buildings bearing DA advertising.Danny Jordaan, proudly brought to you by Jacob Zuma - @andrewhitfieldpic.twitter.com/CVfWZfIOf8— DA Eastern Cape (@DAEasternCape) April 14, 2016async Nelson Mandela Bay mayor Danny Jordaan’s chief of staff‚ Mlungisi Ncame‚ said on Wednesday that his boss had asked officials to remove it.“Danny Jordaan has directed our billboard in NMB be removed. We are considering legal action‚” the DA tweeted on Thursday morning.DA mayoral candidate Athol Trollip on Wednesday claimed not to know who erected the billboard.“I cannot tell you who erected the billboard‚ but I thought it was quite funny. I cannot say what they hope to achieve by erecting this billboard‚” he said.The billboard said: "Danny Jordaan, proudly brought to you by Jacob Zuma". It's the truth. He was even revealed by Zuma at presser.— Russel Brueton (@RusselBrueton) April 14, 2016async A statement from Trollip’s campaign manager‚ Andrew Whitfield‚ on Thursday seemed to contradict his boss as he referred to it numerous times as a “DA billboard”.“Danny Jordaan has this morning personally and in writing instructed the removal of the DA billboard‚ showing him to be the personal protector of Jacob Zuma‚” Whitfield said.“Jordaan has given no reasons for his executive instruction to remove the billboard‚ and has simply autocratically instructed its removal.”“The DA is therefore currently consulting our lawyers with a view to take urgent legal action against Jordaan and the NMB Municipality.”Whitfield borrowed from DA leader Mmusi Maimane’s criticism of Zuma during the 2015 State of the Nationa Address debate‚ saying Jordaan’s action “shows he is a broken mayor‚ protecting a broken president”.In that debate‚ Maimane told Zuma in the National Assembly “you are a broken man‚ presiding over a broken society”‚ and went on to use the work “broken” another 28 times. – TMG Digital/The Herald..
