JOHANNESBURG - Every week The Money Show’s Bruce Whitfield asks branding and advertising expert Andy Rice to share with him the week’s advertising 'heroes' and/or 'zeroes'.

This week, with general elections around the corner, Rice critiqued the Economic Freedom Fighters’ (EFF) brand.

"A brand is not just a promise made, but a promise kept as well… Many things in their manifesto seem utterly unachievable…

"They have a simple, memorable theme slogan, just five words: ‘Our land and jobs now’.

"In terms of followers on Twitter; they’re substantially larger than the ANC… They understand the power of personality."
