Zapiro Speaks On ANC Controversy

* a must-read interview with cartoonist Jonathan "Zapiro" Shapiro about his recent cartoon featuring various South African political entities holding down that country's justice system so that ANC leader Jacob Zuma can rape her has appeared in the Los Angeles Times. It contains a fine summary of the story as well.

* target Zuma seems to have received a decent amount of support in the affair, particularly from his close constituents.

* the politician certainly received a boost when corruption charges against him were dropped.

* the Young Communist League would like to see the cartoon investigated.
