2. FORMER PRESIDENT OF SOUTH AFRICA:
Nelson R. Mandela (Madiba/Tata)
A truly great man – he served as this country’s first
black president until he gave the position over to the
then deputy president of the ANC – Thabo Mbeki.
Nelson Mandela was a freedom fighter in the years
of Apartheid and because of his involvement in the
struggle – he was imprisoned for almost 27 years!!
3. FORMER PRESIDENT OF SOUTH AFRICA:
Thabo Mbeki
Considered a possible candidate to “fill
Mandela’s shoes”
However, he was soon regarded as an
unfit and rather useless president
because he spent most of his time out
of South Africa - helping other
countries solve their problems.
4. CURRENT PRESIDENT OF SOUTH AFRICA:
President Jacob Zuma was the deputy president
of the ANC before he became president of the
organisation and the country.
He obtained his position after Mbeki’s
humiliating defeat at an ANC NEC Meeting to
select a presidential candidate.
Jacob Zuma is a controversial
man – he has 4 wives,
approximately 22 children and
has been accused of fraud and
other crimes.
He is almost always drawn with a
shower over his head – a link to
his belief that taking a shower
after having unprotected sex can
prevent AIDS.
5. HELEN ZILLE: LEADER
OF THE DEMOCRATIC
ALLIANCE
(Opposition Party)
She is an outspoken
lady who is either
well respected and
loved or hated. She
often questions the
way the ANC is
running our country.
Her party currently
controls the Western
Cape – one of the
more efficient
provinces in SA.
JULIUS MALEMA:
LEADER OF THE
ANC YOUTH
LEAGUE.
He is known
throughout the
country and the
world for his
ridiculous and
often offensive
comments.
He is drawn as a
baby – because
of his childish
behaviour and
inability to
control himself.
6. ROBERT MUGABE: PRESIDENT OF ZIMBABWE
He has ruled over his country for over 20 years. In that time,
Mugabe has turned Zimbabwe from one of Africa’s most prosperous
nations to a land destroyed by his madness.
People barely survive from day to day, there is corruption, murder,
racism and absolute chaos – all of which is occurring just outside our
border. He is a dictator in the mould of Hitler himself.
