Some sounds for a sad day. This drawing was made in 2004 during a visit to South Africa organised by the British Council and during which I exchanged learning experiences with a cartoonist from over there. My hat remains tipped to Steve Bell who facilitated for the participating Brits and Zapiro (aka Jonathan Shapiro) who returned the favour for the South Africans.

Updated: 12th December 2013 Zapiro has offered some thoughts about Mandela and his understanding of the big picture to the BBC.
