Missed It: South Africa’s Press Code Went Into Effect 10-15

It seems like all the Zapiro articles these days are full of incidental news that make you stop and whistle. We learned in a recent interview that the court date for the suit brought against the cartoonist by South African President Jacob Zuma has been set for next year. Here's a piece that repeats that bit of information but soon moves into a discussion of the country's horrible-sounding new press code, which apparently went into effect a week ago Saturday. I'm not certain how you could make Zapiro's descriptions of one of the dubious clauses sound any worse except maybe surrounding it with expletives.
