Mis- or Disinformation

Overview

The complaint is about Carl Niehaus's spread of misinformation, falsely accusing the DA, Action SA, Patriotic Alliance, VF, IFP, ACDP, COPE, and BOSA of being war criminals.

Background & Outcome

There is no evidence or basis to label these political parties as war criminals. Such serious allegations require substantial proof, which is lacking in this instance. Such misinformation can mislead voters and undermine the integrity of the electoral process.
