South Africa celebrates 23 years of Freedom today! Zapiro's archival Mandela Sunrise cartoon 27 April 1994 published then in Weekly Mail.

No  No No.....Nelson Mandela , the happy pill of South Africa simply kept the lid on ANC corruption and mismanagement ..... when he went Jacob Zuma and his ANC honchos were all ready in full swing mismanaging the country. Time for Change!! DA instead of ANC!
Celebrate!!!! There is nothing to celebrate. Nearly everything is destroyed. That was drawn in 1994 What he draws now is quite different. SA is destroyed finished and klaar. The latest destruction :- Coligny. Property stolen and destroyed from people who had nothing to do with the drama of a child allegedly killed outside of town. I hope everyone affected will close down and move away.

This is where the current problems started. This cartoon illustrates how South Africans thought that Nelson Mandela's existence would save us all and make life perfect. It took him, and thousands of others, 50 years of extreme hardship, suffering and sacrifice to bring about the end of Apartheid. In 1994 his work was over. It was, and is, up to the rest of us to create a free, decent, just society in which everyone 's basic needs are met. After 342 years of discrimination and oppression of one group by another the right to vote was just one tiny step in what should have been a massive, concerted, well-planned, focused and ongoing effort on the part of every citizen. 23 years later we still haven't learned this lesson. Hence the massive poverty, unemployment and crime.
