101031st - Vavi once more attacks the behaviour of the 'get-rich-quick' politicians and their relatives
Description & Background
After the ANC's NGC at the end of September, Zwelinzima Vavi accused certain people in the ANC as being 'political hyenas'. This week Zwelinzima Vavi has once again lashed out at "the BEE types" calling them members of the "predatory elite". Vavi criticizes both conspicuous consumption in general and operation of predatory (political) hyenas in particular. What triggered off this lasted lambast was the conduct of some of the political elite present at a birthday party costing R 700,000.
Zapiro's cartoon shows Vavi driving a group of tourists around Johannesburg as if he were in the wilds. Sarcastically, like in a real game reserve, he requests silence so that they may have a chance to see the political hyenas scavenging the carcass of the 'body politic'. Among those criticized are the ANCYL, Gupta bros, Aurora mining and Khulubuse Zuma, Imperial Crown Trading and Duduzane Zuma, Nyandi, the Kebbles and Danda Majali.
