Don't mess with the President's head by Zapiro Zapiro

An eagerly awaited album that comes out annually, this year's collection of Zapiro's editorial cartoons shows why this humorist is regarded as the conscience of South Africa. Full of delightful satire, the cartoons are informed by a sense of truth and dignity even while tackling sensitive issues and attacking public figures, particularly those in the ruling party. For news hounds who follow current affairs around the globe, this book provides an education on the issues and a bounty of deft political humor.

Zapiro is Jonathan Shapiro. Born in 1958, he went through architecture at UCT, conscription, activism, detention and a Fulbright scholarship to New York before establishing himself as South Africa's best-known cartoonist. He has worked for the Mail & Guardian since 1994, Sunday Times since 1998 and The Times since 2009. He has also been editorial cartoonist for Sowetan and Independent newspapers. He has published 20 best-selling annuals as well as The Mandela Files, VuvuzelaNation (a collection of his sporting cartoons) and DemoCrazy (his cartoon collection on SA's 20-year trip). Zapiro's numerous SA awards include the Mondi Shanduka Journalist of the Year award and two honorary doctorates.
