It's quite amusing, I must admit. Although, the ZA News cast of characters is surprisingly slim considering a new "broadcast" is released every day. It runs the risk of representing South African politics as a one-man act. In this episode JZ is interviewed about Joost-gate, takes a call from Zille on the Presidential hotline, forecasts the weather, consults Julius Malema, and all but reads the news! How can one conclude anything but that he is The (African) Renaissance Man. It's little consolation to Mbeki who may have heralded this era, after all. Zapiro's reluctant fondness for JZ is all too apparent.Watch local news, as you've never seen it before: ZA News by The Mail & Guardian
[Thank you Roanna for the ZA News tip-off!]
Renaissance man indeed! It seems he might be the right man to herald in the new era after all, who would have thought. I have visions of revulsion when I consider Julius (affectionately known as Jub Jub) as the most “powerful” man in the country and potential leader of the new ANC, but then again I could have sworn the same thing about good old JZ. Who better to lie to the people about the redistribution of the countries wealth than our very own comrades in arms. Viva la revolucion!
