I respect and would in principle protect anybody's freedom of effrontery, none less than the artist. That cultural creature tyrannized by his duty to any kind of truth. I have always been a great fan of Zapiro's work. but I was deeply unsettled by his portrayals of South Africa's leadership. It unsettled me not in a Marx or Bobby Seale kinda way, but in a Mantan in blackface way. Some of these portrayals make me question the purpose or role of media in protecting our rights as humans and building a nation intent on true freedom. check these out.
