Black James Bond
Obamania continued into the movie industry as Daniel Craig announced earlier this week that the world is ready for the first black James Bond.
In the meantime in South Africa, the ruling ANC party whinged through Jessie Duarte that the national broadcaster, SABC, wrongfully depicts Zuma as constantly toyi-toying outside the Pietermaritzburg high court (see the earlier cartoon post for toyi toyi definition).
Many people living in Sandton, an affluent suburb of Johannesburg, are distressed that the SABC will stop airing the ‘Zuma toyi-toyi’ video clip before they get to learn all the steps from him. Unknown sources in Johannesburg were quoted as having said: “…we have no problem in fabricating another charge against Mr Zuma if that’s what we have to do in order to continue our toyi-toyi lessons on TV.”
If you enjoyed this you will probably also enjoy the following Zuma Zuma cartoon.

I think it’s ironic that ANC is asking the SABC not to be biased against them.. that’s a joke in itself!
