“It was just something we thought we needed to do – get a message out there to South Africa and the rest of the world. It’s a call for help to save our country. In times of distress an SOS signal is generally sent out as a cry for help, so we thought we could also send out an SOS at this time,” he said.
Robert said he hopes to raise funds to produce more banners to be placed in and around Durban.
