101216mg 10 12 16 16 Dec 2010 Mail & Guardian Zuma sues Zapiro et al for R 5 million Two years after the publication of the rape of Lady Justice cartoon, Jacob Zuma’s lawyers finally file papers with the Johannesburg High Court, suing Avusa and Zapiro for R5 million plus 15.5% interest per annum. It raises the question why has Zuma decided to this now more than two years after the event. This action, as the cartoon suggests brings even more exposure for Zapiro. This is not the first time that Zuma has threatened or tried to intimidate Zapiro. In 2006, Zuma demanded a record R15 million for damage to his reputation from Zapiro. In 2007, the ANC proposed to censor showerhead cartoons. In 2008, once more Zuma demanded another R7 million for defamation. None of these past cases ever reached the court. This latest one has.
