Lesufi says Solidarity is racially sensitive, could damage SA’s image ahead of the G20 summit

# Gauteng premier Panyaza Lesufi says a banner by Solidarity on Johannesburg’s M1 highway was racially sensitive and could damage the province and South Africa’s image ahead of the G20 summit. The banner was taken down following an order from Lesufi, with city officials acting swiftly after the directive. Solidarity criticised the move as unlawful censorship, insisting the banner met legal advertising standards.
