Come hell or high water

2009-12-10 10:33

The funniest show on TV isn't on TV at all - it's online.

Controversial, hilarious and a little too close to the real thing for some, ZA NEWS is South Africa's new scathing and side splitting political satire that does what the country has been crying out for years: make us laugh at ourselves, at our leaders and, most importantly, with each other.

Why? Because here we can!

For your essential fresh daily dose of ZA NEWS, co-signed by Zapiro and Thierry Cassuto, go to www.mg.co.za/zanews.

In today's episode: Stiff competition for England at the World Cup, medical waste fouls up the land, Helen Zille is riled-up by rowdy ANC supporters, and President Zuma vows to combat climate change in Africa, come hell or high water.

This is the best. Why fly any other airline if Kulula is the only one with the balls to sponsor this. Go Kulula & zanews. More Julius please, that man is as thick as two scaffold planks.

i don't entertain that moron zapiro, he hides his bitter racists issues behind freedom of speech and expression as far as i'm concern he is an arse

jack@morena 12/10/2009 1:59:40 PM

You are the idiot , not once have you responded to anything without using the race card.thank God i don't know you.

@morena 12/10/2009 2:00:26 PM

The truth hurts!!!!!

@morena 12/10/2009 2:36:25 PM

haha this is funny.. How can u even say that.. its pointing fingers at all races.. oh yeah!! u cant see that can u. u only see the pointing at blacks..

@ morena 12/10/2009 2:38:46 PM

ag morena. get a sense of humour. just because he is white he is a rasist? I bet if he was black it would be ok. comedy crosses all boundries my friend. I've been to many stand up shows with black comedians who mock white people and they find it funny. Grow up dude! Life isn't "black and white", u gotta find the grey sometimes!

@morema Komaan, grow up - why should freedom of speech only be OK for some and not for others!! Be a man!!!

cuba - @morena 12/10/2009 2:48:41 PM

Alien Dude @ morena 12/10/2009 2:55:52 PM

That's rich coming from you moron.

I think he's pretty cheeky and right on the button most of the time. Why don't you have a look at the actions of those who feature in his satire instead of playing the race card AGAIN. Goodness me, it's just becoming soooo boring hearing this argument from twits like you. Wake up and open your eyes and see ... what is really happening in our beloved country instead of getting on your high horse every time a person of colour is criticised. Those who have the power are conducting an enormous screw-up in this country and their race is irrelevant. Someone needs to point out corruption and wrong doing by those in high positions. This has been the field of satirists for as long as they've been around. Get out of your narrow-minded, headspace of feeling inferior and self-conscious and start accepting the truth.
