This is not just another tribute to Nelson Mandela. It celebrates the life and contributions of South Africa’s greatest citizen, his struggle, successes and shortcomings, as portrayed by South Africas leading political cartoonist Jonathan Shapiro, better known as Zapiro. With over 330 of Jonathan Shapiro’s cartoons, video and audio footage Zapiro: Jiving with Madiba traces the life of Nelson Mandela from Prisoner to President to Pensioner. In addition to the Zapiro cartoons published in several of the largest newspapers in South Africa, Zapiro’s struggle era work for the UDF and ANC from the eighties is also shown, as are dozens of drawings from his original sketchbooks including sketches for a 70th birthday card Zapiro made for Madiba while both were being detained at Pollsmoore Prison. Within this personal journey of Nelson Mandela and Jonathan Shapiro, it shows an inspiring romp through the first two decades of the New South Africa. The app is based on a popular exhibition about Mandela held at the Jewish Museum in Cape Town in 2011 and the now out-of-print publication Zapiro’s Mandela Files. About Zapiro
