The Public Relations Consultants Association (PRCA) says it is investigating a complaint made against Bell Pottinger by South Africa’s Democratic Alliance (DA) opposition political party.
The Director General of PRCA, Francis Ingham said: “we can confirm that we have received a complaint against Bell Pottinger, filed by Democratic Alliance. Bell Pottinger has been notified of this. We will now begin the formal process set out in the PRCA Professional Charter and Code of Conduct to investigate this complaint.”
The DA alleges that Bell Pottinger “violated the Codes of Conduct of these regulatory bodies and behaved in an unethical manner”.
