'Who does Zapiro think he is?'

Zapiro's fascination with ridiculing the African National Congress and its leaders borders on utter disrespect for democracy.

Out of the 15 recently drawn cartoons, 13 are about the ANC and its youth league. He clearly has an agenda which compromises him both as an artist and a journalist especially when he decides to misrepresent and lie about facts.

This week's cartoon refers to the "Banana Republic Road" which is a privileged access for among others "President’s concubines". This is an insult not only to the President but his wives too!

And these are the people who elect our government :wtf:

Perhaps the 13 out of the last 15 noteworthy screw-ups involve the ANC & YL?

Doing stupid things results in redicule. Suck it up.

I'm sure Zapiro knows exactly who he is. And knows how to make exactly the right comeback to this twarp...

 

[Gawain]

lol the anc are funny as all sh it you cant make this stuff up

 

[Milano]

It is the role of the media to focus on the ruling party, would be a bit dim to focus his cartoons mainly on the opposition.

FFS's, If you act the clown you belong to the circus, The ANC, its cronies and concubines are doing it (the acting) quiet "professionally" and well. A top fiver salute for Zapiro, who's job is to represent the clowns to to public.

 

[Fazda]

Zapiro is doing precisely what he is meant to and that is to take a critical look at the day's news and make a humorous comment. That's exactly what he's doing!

Pretty rich really. Zaprio's mother was one of the white "freedom" fighters, and he is openly outspoken about Israeli policies, despite being Jewish himself and having lost family in the Holocaust.
With those pedigrees, the ANC have no leg to stand on.

My mother worked as a social worker in the East End of London, with very deprived kids. She was born in Berlin. Her family fled Nazi Germany and got out just in time, at the beginning of 1938. They went to England and her father was interned as an enemy alien, even though he was a Jewish refugee.

My family were all supportive of the anti-apartheid movement, but we only really found a political home when the United Democratic Front started in 1983. We were all inspired by the UDF. My sister Yvonne was detained in 1985, during the first state of emergency. My mother was detained in 1986 – the second state of emergency – and I was detained in 1988.

Zapiro says: "I feel strongly that human rights are indivisible, I feel the Palestinian struggle can be linked clearly with the anti-apartheid struggle and with other freedom struggles."

Yup, sounds like a man with a hidden agenda against the ANC, and a paid up member of the Turd Force.

:wtf:

Zapiro is brilliant!
Themba Zweni is a complete IDIOT, like many others will do and write anything to try earn themselves a Struggle Buddy Voucher, unfortunately, there are alot of young members of this Bannana republic, who had ****all to do with this country but want to be known for their 'struggle' when all they did is learn about it in history, and hate us because we are white?
Zapiro for President!

I suppose the DA are angels. Zapiro proves he is biased against ANC.......

See last sentence of the OP - it applies to you.

+1

At the moment the ANC and YL members are particularly incompetent and stupid !

Not even mentioning the greed and corruption.

So I'm surprised that all 15 cartoons are not about the ANC,

 

[boramk]

I suppose the DA are angels. Zapiro proves he is biased against ANC.......

He has criticized the DA plenty before, they just not as controversial though

 

[BCO]

Seems like some people don't understand the point of political satire.

 

[Ronjay]

I suppose the DA are angels. Zapiro proves he is biased against ANC.......

If Zille had 5 husbands, and the DA had a YL with a moron as it's president, and they where doing stupid things like trying to nationalize farms and mines that undermines our economy, and they sang about killing black people, and a moron in the DA bought 2 mansions and a whole heap of cars and R250000 watches and then cried poverty, and the list goes on.......

I'm pretty sure the Zap would ridicule them as well. Are you a Malema?

 

[phiber]

Political satire is usually an attack at the ruling party... ANC need to figure that out, before they go into politics!!

 

[Nihilanth]

The real question is who is Themba Zweni? Never heard of you before, who the hell are you?

 

[Fazda]

I suppose the DA are angels. Zapiro proves he is biased against ANC.......

Aren't you supposed to be at that Malema rally today?

 

[HavocXphere]

I suppose the DA are angels. Zapiro proves he is biased against ANC.......

And the police is biased against criminals because they keep arresting them.

Besides, the ANC doesn't set the bar very high on the looking like angels front.
