Channel: John G I Clarke
Date: 2019-11-27

For thirty five years the South African political cartoonist Zapiro has wielded his mighty pen to speak truth to power... and to speak the truth ABOUT power.  

In this exclusive conversation with social worker and activist John Clarke he reflects on the storms, controversies and injustices that he has had to endure.  From facing down two defamation SLAPP suits from former President Jacob Zuma and the malicious social media driven campaign to delegitimise by branding him as both a "racist" and "rapist". 

He also talks about the cartoonists who have inspired him in his career, and how he hopes to channel his exceptional creative genius in the future.
