A poster of a naked mixed-race couple embracing, part of a DA Students Organisation (Daso) campaign, is generating heat on Facebook and Twitter.

It was posted online by DA Youth leader Makashule Gana, who said the campaign’s aim was to spark debate around the issue of race in a bid to create an open, non-racial society.

The first in a series, it will soon be seen at university campuses across the country.

Gana put it up on his Facebook page and briefly used it as his Twitter avatar (profile picture), sparking a storm of comments, positive and negative.

Some detractors were offended by the nudity, while others said it sent the wrong message.

A Tweeter asked: “Is the DA campaigning on behalf of white sugar-daddies who go after young native chicks?
