A South African church which regularly pictured crutches and canes in its adverts has had to can this particular series of ads.
The Solid Rock Church of Miracles believes that its displays of discarded crutches and canes encouraged sick and disabled people to come to their church.
However, there have been numerous complaints about the adverts as being misleading, and after an investigation South Africa’s main advertising complaints body says that it agrees and banned the adverts.
Church’s which promise miracle healings and financial prosperity are flourishing in the more impoverished sections of South Africa.
