An Open Letter to the Editors in all media, from the Dagga Party.
Good Day Mr/Ms. Editor in the South African media, and to all citizens.
The multitude of articles about the EFF and Mr Malema on the front pages of the press and on TV, and the willingness of the press to also feature Agang, are in direct contrast with the willingness of the media to feature the policies of the Dagga Party of South Africa.
I am the founder and leader of IQELA LENTSANGO: The Dagga Party of South Africa, which intends to register nationally for Elections 2014. I, too, have a vision for my country, which I believe is a concrete and positive and considered approach to a future for all citizens.
In the interests of media fairness, I must insist on claiming similar front page coverage and TV coverage of the Dagga Party's goals. To date, journalists have only been more interested in how many joints I smoke than in any of the Dagga Party's policies and promises to the electorate.
Until the newspapers and the TV media give equal prominence and coverage to the cultural grouping and political party that I lead, I must accuse the media of bias toward the views of Malema and Ramphele, and Zuma and Zille, while others, including myself, are silenced and in fact, studiously ignored.
These links below feature the information about the Party policies and the truth about Dagga that I have already given to the media (and the State) but so far, editors everywhere just refuse to feature it in any way. I therefore make all this information public for the sake to people's rights to know.
Firstly, Here is a link to an introductory brochure from the Dagga Party.
