ZAPIRO: Zuma proves he is a complete twat!

with one comment

The old adage that “might makes right” is beginning to ring true, as big-man Zuma makes a come-back, and the people cower in anticipation of a lengthy court proceeding in which the legal fraternity are bound to listen to their pockets rather than their brains.

Anybody bother to read the constitution or bill of rights? Ten years after our constituent assembly produced one of the most remarkable documents the world has ever seen, Jacob Zuma seems intent on removing article 16. Remember dignity implies restraint and the only restraint on freedom of expression is outlined in chapter 2.

“Freedom of expression does not extend to ­
propaganda for war;
incitement of imminent violence; or
advocacy of hatred that is based on race, ethnicity, gender or religion, and that constitutes incitement to cause harm.”

Perhaps Zuma would like this to be amended to include politicians who bribe arms dealers and make money off people like Shaik? Remember him? Isn’t there a bribery, fraud and corruption trial pending? Hasn’t Zuma been implicated in something a lot more serious than taking a shower?

  1. i’m feeling depressed!
    disbanding the scorpions – really do ‘they’ think we – the people are stupid!
    i have to say i keep laughing as i hear things – 8000 % inflation in Zim – it’s not funny i know and the zim dollar has had 10 zeros removed – just like that!
    it’s serious i know but it’s a joke – which of course it isn’t
    cheers
    love zapiro – i get what’s going on thanks to him!

    as the monty python song goes – in the life of brian

    Some things in life are bad,
    They can really make you mad,
    Other things just make you swear and curse,
    When you’re chewing life’s gristle,
    Don’t grumble,
    Give a whistle
    And this’ll help things turn out for the best.
    And…

    Always look on the bright side of life.
    [whistle]
    Always look on the light side of life.
    [whistle] etc

    if you want to see the rest of it
