South African editorial cartoonist Jonathan Shapiro (“Zapiro”) won the graphical journalism category of the Mondi Shanduka Newspaper Awards for his two cartons “Rape of Justice” and “Xenophobia Flag.” The former cartoon depicted the then African National Congress leader Jacob Zuma of preparing to rape lady justice and sparked a law suit against the cartoonist by Zuma, who is now the South African President.
“The judges did not necessarily endorse the sentiments of the controversial Rape of Justice cartoon, but acknowledged it is an outstandingly powerful visual statement that had been deliberately designed to elicit enormous reaction.”
