It was published by Jacana Media in 2008 as one of the cartoonist's annual collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cartoons span the period around the 2007 ANC conference at Polokwane and the rise of Jacob Zuma, satirising the ruling party and prominent public figures. Each cartoon is dated and captioned, so the book reads as a running visual chronicle of a turbulent moment in South African politics. The back cover carries a comment from Anton Harber on the Lady Justice cartoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZapiro's caricatures of Jacob Zuma have attracted scholarly attention, and this collection has been cited in academic writing on his work. It is a lively primary record of how South African political satire responded to the events of the day, of interest to collectors of political cartoons, modern South African history and Zapiro's own books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor Profile: Zapiro (Jonathan Shapiro)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJonathan Shapiro, known as Zapiro, was born in Cape Town in 1958 and studied architecture and graphic design before his conscription.
