Zuma Defaced
AND DISMEMBERED
Brett Murray's controversial portrait of President Zuma With Unsheathed Genitalia has given rise to dozens of editorial cartoons since it was first exposed by City Press. Since then, the President, his family, his party and his government have conspired to place the story firmly on the front page by threatening legal action to have the painting removed and destroyed.
More…The Clifton Trawler
WHEN A JAPANESE FISHING TRAWLER washed up on one of Clifton's pristine beaches, many Capetonians seized the opportunity to visit it, and witness the numerous attempts to refloat the large boat and its cargo of tuna. Four Cape Town based cartoonists saw it as another opportunity (their first since the recent centenary of the Sinking of the Titanic), to draw a boat - if only they could work it into another relevant story. And a Cape Town based photographer made this beautiful stop action video of the trawler's short visit to our shores [thanks for sharing this, JERM!].

True to form, it is this legacy that cartoonists will remember him by, as THIS COLLECTION attests.

THANKS FOR ALL THE 'TOONS!
JULIUS MALEMA has been something of a muse to newspaper cartoonists, and a constant source of material for their cartoons. Are we about to see the last of him? Not if the media can help it, because Juju - as we've all come to know him - can't be matched for the guaranteed drama, sound bite and controversy we've come to expect of him.
More…The People vs The Tolls
As the popular protest against toll roads heats up, the government seems more determined than ever to implement the further taxation of road users. We've gathered together a collection of 60+ cartoons to narrate the story so far.

SOUTH AFRICAN PRESIDENT JACOB ZUMA is a polygamist, as is the Swazi King Mswati III.Here is a Wikipedic account of All the President's Wives, and when he married them:

Mouse over this cartoon...
President Zuma turns 70 this week, and to celebrate we thought we'd gather some 850 cartoons to remember some of the highs and lows of his most recent years by.
