Photo Caption contest – What is Zille thinking?!
Wonkie received a ton of email asking why we’re not making a cartoon about Helen Zille‘s choice of team. Quite frankly, just as we intend giving Mr Zuma a chance with his cabinet to deliver we’re going to give Mrs Zille a chance with her team – regardless of its constitution. Perhaps it is time for South Africans to take race out of the equation – and let’s take this as a first step by giving her the benefit of the doubt that this is the best team possible for the good of the masses. Zille critics should be glad – if Mrs Zille fails now the public will be much harsher on her and the DA in the next election so we can only assume she knows what she is doing.
Wonkie definitely agrees that what Mrs Zille is doing is not a good political move by any stretch. In fact she’s made a host of political faux pas recently – Mrs Zille has an opportunity to make a significant impact now in South Africa so WHAT is she thinking?!
Please enter your best captions for the photo above and enjoy the weekend!

I wonder if I’m wearing too much bling today
May 15th, 2009 at 8:14 am
I must stop blowing hot air, a cool breeze is the right thing!
May 15th, 2009 at 8:15 am
Ok now remember your training – blow too hard and you’ll sound like an elephant!

Jislaaik… the things I have to do to prove I is black!
May 15th, 2009 at 8:18 am
its actually quite fun. no wonder THEY all look so jovial doing IT.
May 15th, 2009 at 8:20 am
Ayyy khona I can do it… Nkosi Sikeleli Africa is going to come out of this thing now now
May 15th, 2009 at 8:21 am
Obviously Wonkie team lost their fun touch. Taking “race out of the equation” sounds like more of a whiteman politics.
See, Wonkie as a black man myself I love laughing about President Jacob Zuma (When Wonkie only prefers to call him just “Mr Zuma”) and any other person in the leadership of the ANC. I find that there can be something to laugh about what all these people do or say.
The same applies to Premier Helen Zille and Inkosi Mangosuthu Buthelezi. Respect is key here. When a white person refuses to address Mr Jacob Gedlyihlekisa Zuma as President, when they should, it becomes a bit clear that the white person concerned has no regard of the democratic processes of this country.
The next question is why? Why is it that Wonkie would rather not address President Zuma as President but as just “Mr Zuma”? Is it because he is black and he had unproved criminal allegations against him and disproved rape charges against him.
It is because of outright recklessness of white persons like Wonkie that I see that rationalising my vote in the future should remain within black leadership not white.

The media should really learn not to be selective and read the entire letter before making absolute fools of themselves !
May 15th, 2009 at 8:22 am
I hope this breathalyzer proves I am not drunk with power!
May 15th, 2009 at 8:24 am

I can blow this blue cabinet job………..er…maybe that should be, blew the whole cabinet blow job…blue, blow, blou, blew bulle! That oughta show zoom, zoom, zuma a thing or two.
May 15th, 2009 at 8:32 am
@Dithabana – we’re giving you an opportunity to make fun of Mrs Zille now and you’re not taking it. Then you’ll complain later saying we’re anti-ANC – what is your best caption to the above photo?
I am a black man and I am trying to take race out of the equation myself – as difficult as it may be. I don’t think what Zille is doing is politically smart – it’s suicidal if it fails actually but I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt just as I will give Mr Zuma. Give them all a chance.
Incidentally, if you read international news nobody in the media constantly refers to Barack Obama as President Obama or Brown as Prime Minister Brown. Mr Obama or Mr Brown usually suffices. I’m certain Mr Zuma’s ego doesn’t need to be constantly reaffirmed.
May 15th, 2009 at 8:34 am
Only when I blow my trumpet early in the show will I be heard and triumph all this who aaa critism from all my comrades

May 15th, 2009 at 10:32 am
@ Sizwe
Your little hopelessly-colonised-self will not be allowed to get out of hand here. You are obviously a product of bass van der something’s kitchen politics.
So in the spirit of giving you a chance to argue with me, I would like you to tell me what did Kebby Maphatsoe say to ms Zille. May be you should also bother to tell me if there was any basis for ms Zille to declare the president of south africa ” a self-confessed womanizer with deeply sexist views”. While you are at it provide corroboration to her statement that our mothers (not yours since you are still a hopelessly madam van der racist’s kitchen orientated spineless black inkwenkwe) in the leadership of the “quota appointments”.
Sizwe sa dibari, have you ever heared of the thing called The TRC Report? May be not. But have you read “No future without forgiveness” by the nobel laurette Dr Desmond Tutu? I guess I am probably speaking at another level to you because may be you are just one of those little ignorant Sizwes who would rather glue themselves to their white friend’s PS stations and forget to wonder why are their parents so dependent on madam van der white’s piggy bank.
Thank heavens I am not like you Sizwe. My grandfather fought the 2nd world war and lived to tell the tales. Your’s probably got choked to his next life by a dysfunctional electric grass mower that is why your behaviour is a bit confined to kitchen psychology the sehlare sa mosotho ke lekgoa types. I am sure it would be unnatural for you to differ with your white friend and master.
I truly feel sorry for you boy.
May 15th, 2009 at 10:34 am
I ‘AM BY FAR THE BEST “BLOWER” IN THE DA
May 15th, 2009 at 10:43 am
I bet this comes as a big blow to JZ
May 15th, 2009 at 10:48 am

May 15th, 2009 at 11:00 am

May 15th, 2009 at 11:34 am
i want to believe dat premier Helen Zille iz not convinced with women around her and until zhe dizcloze the reazon[z] behind her conztituting that male only cabinet. we would be wrong to put her thru the public court and judge her without factz.
May 15th, 2009 at 11:56 am
Me and my ten boyfriends will show them that Zuma is not a match when it comes to polygamy!
May 15th, 2009 at 12:58 pm
I want to be the “White Makhumalo”. maybe i can do tricks on him and never take a shower, and use baby oil. All he’ll use is “Mshini wami”. So i want the whole world to know, that’s why im blowing the Vuvuzela.
May 15th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
@Dithabana – let me guess, you’re a member of the ANCYL? – it certainly sounds like you’d fit in well enough. In any case, please refrain from name calling on this site – make your point on the issue instead of attacking the person you’re debating with and their father. That’s more constructive and your perspective will be beneficial to the readers.
Interesting that you quote the title ‘no future without forgiveness’ – perhaps you should read it. It certainly does not sound like you have forgiven anyone yet. Madiba’s vision was one united South Africa where race, gender etc does not matter – how are you contributing to that by making criticisms of a democratically elected team that has not had a chance to deliver for their voters yet? All you seem to see is race and gender.
May 15th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Man this is the coolest ting ever – but how do I get it unbanned for 2010?!
May 15th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
I don’t like to blow my own horn… but hey what the hell, just this once!
May 15th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
see … it’s not only my cabinet that i blow
May 15th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
…… and the walls came tumbling down!
May 15th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
@ Sizwe
I must put it to you man that I really don’t find you intellectually stimulating. May be it is because you are not. You come out quite glib and facile that I even fail to differenciate between your argument and faecal deposits.
I have heared of random logic before but I refused to beleive that there were human species who reasoned “randomly” without rationalizing what comes forth their lips. You did it for me! Now I am a firm beleiver in random reasoning.
You know the title of the book so advance to your nearest book store or good library to treat yourself to some good food for thought. Your reasoning needs some “food” so that it can improve.
May 15th, 2009 at 4:30 pm
Zille is saying ‘Dithabana helloooooo… knock, knock anyone home?’ LOL!!!
May 15th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
Ok boyz I’m ready… pour in the TEQUILA!!!!
May 15th, 2009 at 4:50 pm
If I can add this to my recent toj-toj , I may give JZ a run for his money….
May 15th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
call to arms
May 15th, 2009 at 5:17 pm
What saddens me here its the fact that these critics of Zille are racists and supremacists themselves since they have not a shred of evidence to back-up their innuendos,aspersions and curses since they don`t know Zille and the politics of Capetown.
Imean these anc BIGWIGS WHO STARTED this tirade live in capetown and those who live outside of capetown go to capetown for leisure and entertainment amidst their badmouthing of capetown.
The reason here its that the ANC wants Capetown to be slummed and trashed like all its municipalities.
May 15th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
At least she’s blowing a trumpet and not a horn
May 16th, 2009 at 12:42 am
Thank God I don’t have to worry about competing with other women!
May 16th, 2009 at 11:14 am

May 20th, 2009 at 8:46 am
waaaaaaa.waaaaaaaaa,Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuma is a womanizer.brrrrrrrrrrrbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr,stop Zuma.Oh boy this thing does not work,guess i need males in my cabinet to prevent my fellow sisters from this womanizer,HHAHAAAAHAHAHHAHAHHA.
May 20th, 2009 at 9:59 am
S.Africans are so used to bad reports such that it feels like there is no news without Zuma, Papers don’t sell anymore. Eishhh! This is a turning point. Patriotism for ever
May 20th, 2009 at 10:48 am
AWU!WHAT`S ALL THE FUSS SINCE ITS QUITE VERY CLEAR THAT SHE`S CELEBRATING HER PARTY`S VICTORY IN THE WESTERN CAPE!
May 20th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
Where is the thing that makes the noise. I can’t find it, is it here or what happened to it, Jacob. Did you give it to Shabbir.
May 21st, 2009 at 1:51 pm
Am I not suppose to lead the band?
May 22nd, 2009 at 10:48 am
Dithabanana you should leave politics to the forum it belongs in and not spoil the spirirt of giving good intellectual comment for the cartoons, I think you spend too much time on the crapper reading shit all day, you are a true banana
June 1st, 2009 at 3:12 pm
I aint letting go…I’ll keep trying to blow you out of the highest office…Zu-u-uuuuuma
June 5th, 2009 at 12:41 pm
Wish my cabinet could at least compete with this Vuvuzela for size then i would have to blowjobs
June 5th, 2009 at 1:49 pm
If Fez does his mother and sister(blowjobs I mean) everytime he thinks and talks about Helen Zille? I loath people who denegrate others indiscrimately without reason, especially if they are from the lesser lot of ‘humans’. If GOD wanted you, Fez, to be dangerous, he would have given you brains. So there, sit on that.
June 15th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
Hmmm…I bet i cud make a killer pipe out of this!
February 8th, 2010 at 2:29 pm
I think I prefer this vuvuzela and to blow the whistle against Zuma’s scandal everyday than sitting in the office and thinking who I’ll replace in my cabinet
February 9th, 2010 at 9:29 pm
Power dressing in blue was good for Margret Thatcher and with this horn I am going to blow Julius M’s little cotton socks off.
February 10th, 2010 at 9:43 am
Zille is diminishing the status,stature and image of her party by personalising it as a platform to model herself and its time that members must object to thius and insist that the DA must carry the banner of the defunct or incorporated PFP along and constantly invite the old guard to appear on platforms .
The old guard has been completely obliterated just the passing away of Schwarz was a lonely affair since heb has long been forgotten.
I,in conclusion would like to pay my last respect to him for his assistance of the poor and politically powerless citizenry just as he closed his office for half-a-day to go with me to Transnet to go represent me in a meeting I was to have with them following my ride in a “whites only” coach and his telling me”I can see you don`t have the money” so I won`t charge you!
March 10th, 2010 at 1:49 pm
Typical of Helen…there she goes blowing her own trumpet again…
March 10th, 2010 at 5:14 pm
