R690,000 of South African tax payers money has been spent on this design for the upcoming elections…

From News24 – “This is without doubt the worst design I have ever seen,” a blogger called David wrote on the iMod blog. “The level of design is shocking,” Ruark commented. “I know of 6th-graders that do better designs,” Wogan added on the same blog.
