ActionSA Leader claims SRF is run by a DA employee.

Outcome

Overview

ActionSA Leader, Herman Mashaba published a Tweet that claim that polling company, Social Research Foundation (SRF) is run and managed by a DA employee.

Background & Outcome

It is simply not true that the SRF is "run, managed by a DA employee". While the content is false and misleading, Secretariat is not entirely convinced that this could reasonably cause public harm. Political parties tend to rubbish polling companies. Mashaba's approach is certainly novel, but it is commonplace, particularly during elections season, for political parties to try and delegitimise polls they don't like.
