Democratic Alliance's election ad featuring flag burning sparks controversy in South Africa.

The Democratic Alliance (DA) faces backlash over its election TV ad featuring a South African flag burning ahead of the elections. The ad, which aims to get more people to vote for the official opposition, was not well-received by South Africans on social media. In the ad, a South African flag is burnt to ashes with a background voice narrating how the DA would save the country from the fire. Critics argue that burning the flag is disrespectful and sends a wrong message.
