Zuma's speech on the occasion of the ANC's 100 year birthday bash

At the ANC's Centenary Celebration held in Bloemfontein,  hundreds of people pushed, shoved and shouted in a sweaty crush to get into the Free State Stadium before the ANC’s centenary rally officially got under way on Sunday– but by the time President Jacob Zuma ended his lengthy speech, the stands were practically deserted

Zapiro summarises Zuma's incredibly long and boring speech demonstrating that a picture is worth a 1000 words. He also compares  ANC's illustrious past with the political in-fighting and ulgliness of the present day.
