(TW // SA) In a strong, dynamic pose, his jacket fluttering in the wind, Jacob Zuma is depicted as a prototypical, unassailable and vigorous leader... until you look down. South African artist Brett Murray's The Spear makes a mockery of the (now former) South African President, stripping him of his pants and the vestiges of his dignity. Zuma was a controversial President, beset by corruption charges (one of which would eventually lead to his resignation from the presidency) and scandal. He launched multiple defamation suits, complaining that the media was plotting to take him down - of course, one of those suits targeted Murray. This week, we discuss South African politics, showers, and Lenin living forever. See images here!
