Look What You've Done...
ZAPIRO's cartoon borrows the famous iconography from a decades-old South African awareness campaign that warns against veld fires.
Bokkie is a Grysbok, a deer endemic to the Western Cape province.
Yellow Mini website explains; "The signs have changed over the years with different "Bokkie Says" messages, but pretty much always depicting a grysbok with a tear in his eye".
"He is reminding us how we messed up his life chucking stompies out the car windows, not putting out our braais properly or illegally making fires." See this wonderful 1962 story about Bokkie the Greysbok that we found.
[1962 BOOKLET CREDITS: Dorothy Gordon Bagnall for the story. Hettie Louw & E.P Gregoire for the pictures.Cape Times for the free publication. And the Dep of Nature Conservation of the Cape Provincial Administration & Cape Peninsula Fire Protection Committee].
