Chronicling South Africa's 2012 politics and the state of the nation, this humorous compilation by one of the country's most well-known political satirists also delves into more personal topics. From President Zuma's five million rand court case against cartoonist Zapiro to the African National Congress’s court action against Brett Murray, this book exposes the South African national conscience throughout 2012.

Democrazy records the extraordinary South African journey over the past two decades since the landmark election of 1994 through the eyes of the nation’s best-loved—and by some politicians, most-loathed—cartoonist, Zapiro. A brutally funny record of a momentous and historic time, this collection represents Zapiro’s greatest collection of cartoons, capturing the intensity and the absurdity of South African political and social life—from Mandela and Zuma to Amandla and Nkandla and everything in between.

<div>No little thorn in the flesh or irritating fly in the ointment, Zapiro just cannot be ignored. It's been one helluva year. We've held our breath thinking Zuma may resign. We've seen Juju re-booted and Zille tweeted out. We've seen Trump's megalomania, Bell Pottinger's spin and Pravin's fightback, cadres captured and Cabinet's relocation to Saxonwold Shebeen. GuptaLeaks threaten to drown us and as the flood rises the rodents scatter. And who better to make sense of this than Zapiro, political analyst, cartoonist and agent provocateur. He has the ability to knock the air out of us, to rock us back in our seats, to force us bolt upright with a 1000-watt jolt of electrifying shock. He shines a light on the elephant in the room, presents the emperor in all his naked glory. When all around is crumbling, when fake news and zipped lips conceal the truth, Zapiro comes to the rescue.</div>

Hasta La Gupta, Baby!

It's been one helluva year - again. We've seen Zuma resign as president, the DA go after its own people, Trump exercise his megalomania, the rise of racial tensions (as well as the petrol price) and tempers being flared. All while the Guptas fled the Saxonwold shebeen and Cyril Ramaphosa was sworn in and delivered an upbeat SONA vowing to tackle corruption.Who better to make sense of this than Zapiro, political analyst, cartoonist and agent provocateur? He has the ability to knock the air out of us, to rock us back in our seats, to force us bolt upright with a 1000-watt jolt of electrifying shock. He makes us angry, he makes us laugh and he makes us think. He shines a light on the elephant in the room, presents the emperor in all his naked glory. Impossible to brush off, he is determined to provoke a response.When all around is crumbling, when fake news and zipped lips conceal the truth, Zapiro comes to the rescue. With the dissecting eye of a surgeon, the rapier-like point of his pen exposes flimflam and reveals with a single line what lies behind the action.
