South Africa - Proudly Xenophobic
By Tony Namate

Political Cartoon: South Africa - Proudly Xenophobic By Tony Namate

“The political violence in Zimbabwe has approached unprecedented levels not seen since the early 80's, and I hope that sense will soon prevail to avoid full-scale genocide. Zimbabweans have not been having a good time of late, but all indications are that this is the darkest hour before the anticipated dawn.

My fellow countrymen were recently the targets of morbid racism (the politically correct term is xenophobia) in South Africa. It is unfortunate that some South African newspapers have displayed xenophobic tendencies in this day and age of globalisation. The sad thing is that they are allowed to get away with it by their press ombudsman. So much for press freedom.” (quote from Tony Namate's Website)

The Namate cartoons in this issue are a commentary on this senseless African on African violence.
