Mbeki and his henchmen

In the light of Judge Chris Nicholson’s judgment in the Pietermaritzburg High Court last week the Sunday Times published last Sunday an extended version of Zapiro’s cartoon of the week before, setting alongside it a new set of rapists, namely Mbeki and a collection of his henchmen. Interestingly, the ANC leadership, having protested vociferously against the original cartoon, have kept quiet after the publication of its successor. The truth is that the judicial system has been under threat from both sides of the current divisions in the ANC.
