Not upheld

Overview

The complaint is about an image is an artificially generated depiction of a political party leader crying, which is misleading as it does not accurately represent real events or emotions.

Background & Outcome

While clearly linked to EFF elections results and while also manipulated it may be hurtful to the EFF but doesn't see to say this was an actual image of Malema in tears after the elections result. Created for banter and satirical purposes.
