It had to be something extra ordinary

Freedom of expression is one interesting right because when one practices it on others he enjoys it but when that person returns the favor a volcano of anger erupts. Do unto others as you would like them to do unto you,this might sound like some old and useless cliche but believe me its very practical and 'unfairly' fair.

Newspapers published a lot of articles and the broadcast industry also propagated the story of the ANC as abusing the justice system. All those stories fell to deaf ears and blind eyes of vocal leaders of under the tetulage of Jacob Zuma. Julius Malema never took a swipe at an of those mediums as he usually does.

Great work of Art ,a masterpiece so to speak.

It had to be something special that cold get the people and the ANC hotheads to realise what they where turning this beautiful country into. A cartoon on the Sunday Times by Jonathan Shapiro ,affectionately known as Zapiro among his fans who ironically include Cosatu leader Zwelinzima Vavi.

The cartoon dipicted Zuma unbuckling his pants to rape the justice system lady who was blindfolded and pinned down by Julius Malema,Gwede Mantashe and Vavi. In this cartoon Zapiro like a great artist will always do,he used rape as a metaphor for abuse which the justice system had to succumb to from the ANC.

Julius Malema as he usually does,went publicly and threatened Zapiro ,saying he will crush him. For what? If Zapiro insulted him then he should insult him back and no use violence.

Some women believe the cartoon will cause a lot of traum to rape victims,ai do agree with that. However Julius Malema with his statements of violence and aggression,such as.'we are prepared to shoot and kill for Zuma...', the words 'shoot and kill' also traumatise us ,me in particular after my uncle was fatal shot dead in Jbrg.

Julius refused to apologise for his hate speech against the justice system but he expects Zapiro to apologise. What for,if he Malema was interpreted out of context as he said then its fait to say Zapiro was also interpreted out of context and should also stand by his decision not to apologise.

Ironical on the following Monday after the cartoon was published, Zapiro won an award of the BEST HUMOURIST. That tells you a lot by the guys presentation and ways to keepo the people in stitches.

I believe for that great,extra-ordinary cartoon that served as a mirror to the unruly leaders of today Zapiro should walk on the Grammies and Nobel Price red capert with one of their trophies. Keep up the good work Zapiro

It would be unfair dismissal

Yeah sobotage and jealous is the middle name of some people. I mean since when has somebody's sex life determined who that person is and what he cah do which is not even close to sexual nature. It has emerged in the papers that there are people who are framing or rather blackmailing the Sprinboks coach with an alleged sex tape.

It is alleged that Peter is blackmailed into fielding a certain player. Who is that player anywhere? This is a very unfair way to get rid of the coach from his job. So far he has had mixed fortunes, such as performing below par for a team that beras the title 'World Champions' but he made history by guiding the Boks to their famous Dundein Victory over the All Blacks.

It is a fact that Peter is not experienced to the level thats required in any other Boks coach no even close to his predecesor Jake White. So why look for reasons not related to rugby to get rid of Peter,he can even successfully sue for unfair dismissal if fired for such a reason. It is not Peter's sex life or his colour that dishes out his rugby philosophy so live the coach alone.

Rather get him fired or to step down by inviting him to the board room and say ' listen Peter you made history by beating New Zeland in their own slaughter house and got a recorde win over Australia at Cocola park but the team is not performing as it is expected to considering we are world champions. Your tactics are not suitable for our natural style of play so you are Fired'

My point is get rid of him only for a rugby related reason,not his private personal life or the colour of his skin.
