zuma is a President. respect him pliz
Yes, he’s a president, and as such he’s a very public figure. If we were not talking about the fact that he has four wives, thinks it’s fine to have un-protected extra-marital sex with an HIV positive woman and has 13 children then I would say we would be ignoring the elephant in the room.
this post so not right, i think the person who drew it (brat murray) still has apartheid syndrome. he hates blacks in such away that he insults the president. he should be panished.
apartheid and this picture do not link Abram plz dont twist things around the dude was just having fun
There is a freedom that links us to being South African and that would be the freedom of expression in all ways we know in this case there was no violence. so please be real and look at it as “IT SAY EVERY THING ABOUT THE man”
brett murray must burn that thing,how can u draw such an insulting pic abwt the president… i can not say its coz of apartheid but is coz of they dont respect him as an ANC & SOUTH AFRICAN LEADER. if we can draw the leader of DA naked ,hehehe u will here thing. “they dont declare us as south african”. ok myb u r not
Respected South African,I just want to ask Brett and his followers about this disgracing picture of our leader.If it was so good to do what he did then why did he not make a painting of his father being naked or his mother first before he could draw someone else? t.j.kekana
Quiete frankly I have to question the intelligence of anyone expecting this kind of thing to acceptable. Its bad taste, inappropriate and has nothing to do with art and everything to do with insult. What makes it worse is that the gallery exhibiting this actually feels they have a right to insult a public figure like this. A sad reflection of their integrity not to mention their shameless exploits of trying to connect this piece of rubbish with art and the right of free expression. Anyhow, good news is that their legal battle is going to cost them dearly and hopefully hurt them bad enough to reconsider such inappropriate action in future.
HAHAHA…I think the picture is a compliment, Zuma would love to be that size.
