going off the deep end

What's going on? Numsa wants to break away and form a worker's party then they shout about not getting suspended on expelled from Cosatu.  Make up your mind Comrade Jim, or is it a case of uinty in diversity?

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.

A bunch of chops.

Trade union bosses and politicians - they deserve each other.
