But will it stand up in court? (Zapiro) - Softcover

It's been the year of living dangerously, a year of being acknowledged, and it will be the year of the long awaited court case. The national conscience has been hard at work in this, his latest collection, But Will It Stand Up In Court? Zapiro has been tackling the state of the nation, and what a state it's been in! President Zuma launched a R5 million court case against Zapiro which comes to trial on 25 October 2012. This, combined with the ANC's court action against Brett Murray, informs the title of this year's collection. Zapiro won the prestigious 2012 International Publishers Association (IPA) Freedom to Publish Prize for his exemplary courage in upholding freedom to publish. And this week he was named Editorial Cartoonist of the Year in the Standard Bank Sikuvile Journalism Awards.

Zapiro is Jonathan Shapiro, a South African political cartoonist for the Mail & Guardian, the Sunday Times, and the Times, and the author of Call Mr. Delivery, The Hole Truth, The Last Sushi, and Pirates of Potokwane. He is the recipient of numerous awards, including the International Publishers Association Freedom to Publish Prize, the Media Intitute of Southern Africa Press Freedom Award, the Mondi Shanduka Newspaper award for Graphic Journalism, and the Vodacom Cartoonist of the Year award.
