    (did Gado spell Apartheid wrong? Tch, tch, tch. Btw, it is pronounced “A-pahrrt-hate”. ‘aparthide’ sounds quite silly)

    I’ve been hearing about Zuma’s demise for years now and how I wished it was true after each scandal or charge that I thought would surely fell him.The latest scandal was the “improvements” made to Zuma’s homestead, Nkandla…The South African Mail&Guardian newspaper has a special section devoted to Nkandla:http://mg.co.za/report/zumaville-a-special-report

    So when the Constituitional Court ruled against him:““The failure by the president to comply with the remedial action taken against him by the public protector in her report… is inconsistent with Section 83b of the Constitution, read with sections 181.3 and 182.1c, and is invalid,” Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng said”…and when many high-ranking & historical ANC figures voiced their protests against him, I thought…yay!

    Alas……he managed to survive an impeachment motion last weekhttp://mg.co.za/article/2016-04-05-scandal-ridden-zuma-survives-impeachment-motion

    …143 votes in favour and 233 against. sigh

    Julius Malema, another populist idiot and no stranger to corruption, did say: “You have voted against the people of South Africa… You are traitors all,” shouted EFF leader Julius Malema as he led his party out of the National Assembly after the vote”

    And for once I agreed with him.

    If anyone wants to know why Gado depicts Zuma with a shower-head on his head, it’s not his idea, it’s copied.Look up Zapiro’s work. It’s his creation and trademark Zuma depiction after the Zuma-“I-Showered-After-I-had-UnProtected-But-Consensual-Sex-with-Friend’s-HIV+Daughter-who-charged-me-with-rape” controversial acquittal.All of Zapiro’s cartoons of Zuma since has the shower-head.

    ‘Jacob Zuma cleared of rape’:http://www.theguardian.com/world/2006/may/08/aids.southafrica- The Guardian, May 2006

    The first of many a controversial acquittal or dropped investigations
