Politicians are there to poke fun at, and here in South Africa, few do it better than ZANEWS.

We have featured some of their work in the past – perhaps you remember the Game of Cronies episodes?

Anyway, this being Thursday, and thus the kind of day that both tends to drag on and cause us to cast our minds back in time (#throwback), we thought we’d revisit some of their finest work.

In terms of most viewed videos, we have Freshlyground & ZANEWS’ ‘Chicken to Change’ coming out tops, with a cool 400 000 views and counting.

It’s good, but I want the really nasty, cutting stuff.

In honour of Steve Hofmeyr’s tweet from earlier this week, this seems like a decent place to start:

There were zero punches pulled in the making of that video. You can enjoy more Steve mockery here.

How about that ‘Blurred Lines’ JZ Shuffle?

Sticking to the theme of music videos, remember when we had a respectable public protector? Introducing Thuli Madonsela, wrecking ball:

We have to feature JZ and his swansong, ‘My Way’:

Cheers, and thanks for nothing.

Finally, here’s one that shows just how far the team at ZANEWS will push the boundaries.

I dig it, but it’s out there:

Fokken prawns, man.

Happy Thursday.
