Zapiro’s Take On The Cyril / JZ Showdown Is Spot On

It looks like this Wednesday might just see Cyril deliver his final blow, but thus far JZ has avoided the knockout. Nothing slips by Zapiro these days.

Much like a piece of turd that you just can’t scrape off your shoe, so does Jacob Zuma remain president.

We now know that tomorrow might just be the day he finally gets the boot (only the three-hundred and sixty-eleventh time we’ve said that), although the man has made a career out of wriggling off the hook.

Cyril Ramaphosa will be keen to see the back of JZ, but thus far he has faced an uphill battle to oust the crook. Events outside Luthuli House yesterday would suggest that the ANC has well and truly turned on the president, and now all we can do is wait.

That’s the point Zapiro makes in his latest cartoon, with this one coming via the Daily Maverick:

Kinda like how South Africans use just now, now now and right now.

A handy explanation of exactly that did the rounds on social media recently:

I think most South Africans would opt for getting rid of Zupta right now, or at least now. None of this just now nonsense.

So what else has Zapiro been taking aim at recently?

A few more of his efforts from Zapiro.com:

Never stop never stopping, Zapiro.
