The campaign has drawn strong criticism from senior government figures. On Monday, Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi wrote on X that “racists are loud and clear” and accused the banner’s creators of trying to undermine efforts to build “an all-inclusive country that recognises the injustices of apartheid”. He called on supporters of transformation to “push them back”. African News Agency Presidency spokesperson Vincent Magwenya dismissed Solidarity’s campaign as the work of a “tiny right-wing minority”, calling it “unimportant and mindless”. African News Agency Government critics of the billboard argue that it misrepresents South Africa’s transformation agenda and risks damaging the country’s image as it hosts world leaders for the G20 Summit. Solidarity, however, remains adamant that its message should be visible to local residents and international visitors, and says the Solidarity race banner legal action will continue until the courts have ruled on the legality of the removal.
