Financial crunch

Theresa two-step

ANC heavyweight

Et tu, Zupta

Things could hardly be Verse!

Well, if our deputy president can write a poem, so can I.  My one even rhymes!

Gatekeeper

I suppose that's what a deputy's job is all about.

putting out fires

Poor old Cyril seems to be taking strain.  Our President seems to be taking care of Number One by dumping all the tough jobs on his deputy. Watch out, soon he might take on the big job !

fence sitter

Poor old Cyril Ramaphosa, trying to be the cool head to calm things down in Parliament. Well, he got flack from the opposition parties and found himself under fire from the ANC MP's, who accused him of treading on Baleka Mbete's toes.  Now it turns out that the controversial security features are falling apart, even though we are still arguing about who is going to pay for them. Now who is going to pay in the end ? Just don't ask Cyril.

explosive meeting

 

Cosatu is busy with a showdown meeting to decide it's future and whether to expel NUMSA.  Poor Uncle Cyril has the unenviable task of trying to keep the anticipated split in check.  This is a difficult type of cartoon to draw as the meeting is still in progress and one has to make some sort of anticipatory yet telling comment. Let's see if the whole thing blows up or not.

left speechless !

The bizarre utterings and behaviour of our illustrious president leave me shaking my head in disbelief. He is either totally thick-skinned or totally thick or a combination of both. Banana republic of note!
