Open-air toilets and municipal elections 2011


The open-air toilet issue has become the centre of debate with South African political parties fighting the local municipal government elections. First there was the debacle of open-air toilets in Makhaza, Kayelitsha, where the ANCYL took the Democratic Alliance (DA) to Court and then the DA found out about a similar situation in the ANC-run municipality of Moqhaka and has tried to make political capital of it.


Zapiro's cartoon exploits the 'mud-slinging' or 'sh1t slinging' between the DA and ANC demonstrating how low electioneering can go.

Under pressure, Syria reconsiders its candidacy from taking a place at the UN Human Rights Council in May 2011. During weeks of unrest, Human rights organisations accuse Syria of violating international human rights law and committing crimes against civilians. The 2011 Syrian uprising began on 26 January 2011 mainly as a protest to the 40 year rule of the Al-Assad family.

110508st 11 05 08 8 May 2011 Sunday Times When Cabinet Ministers base their decisions on the Ministerial Handbook


Calls for Siyabonga Cwele, State security minister to resign. His wife, Sheryl Cwele, is guilty of dealing in drugs. After the conviction and the sentence, he refuses to comment on the matter.

The suspended Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Sicelo Shiceka, paid with taxpayers money for his trips to visit his drug-convicted mistress in a Swiss jail. He justified it by quoting the Ministerial handbook.

Zapiro brings these two events together into a single cartoon.
