Social media users have been tearing into the ANC thanks to the party’s newly designed shirt, with many feeling as though they’ve seen it somewhere before.
Eagle-eyed users called out the ruling party for “stealing” after many spotted the striking resemblance that the logo shares with the Mercedes AMG brand.
January 8 saw the ANC hold its annual birthday celebrations with countless party members attending the 110th birthday celebrations in Polokwane, Limpopo. The logo was spotted on Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula, reports Times Live.
