It isn’t over: South Africans want answers from Bell Pottinger
The DA and civic groups are pleased the UK PR firm has got its comeuppance, but say its expulsion from an industry guild doesn’t let it off the hook
The DA and civic groups on Tuesday celebrated a victory against UK public relations firm Bell Pottinger‚ which has been kicked out of an industry body for five years. The Public Relations and Communications Association (PRCA) announced the decision at 1am on Tuesday‚ delivering its harshest possible sanction. The DA warned Bell Pottinger that the battle was far from over. "This ruling is by no means an indication that Bell Pottinger is off the hook just yet. Bell Pottinger must take responsibility for their actions and disclose all information regarding their Oakbay Capital account and reinvest all monies from their Oakbay account back into SA‚" DA spokesperson Phumzile van Damme said.
