Jacob Zuma's genitals on art display in Johannesburg museum before it was defaced by two men on Tuesday. The 6"1 painting aptly entitled The Spear by artist Brett Murray during his 'Hail to the Thief II exhibition' has been condemned by South Africa as racist. After unsuccessfully attempts to have The Goodman gallery take down the painting, yesterday saw Zuma present his case to the courts.
The South African president known for his goatish concupiscent lifestyle, back in 2005 notoriously defended having unprotected sex with a HIV/AIDS infected woman by taking a shower to protect against the deadly STD. According to The Guardian, in presenting his case to the courts, he wrote:
"The portrait depicts me in a manner that suggests that I am a philanderer, a womaniser and one with no respect"I think this zany African just gave the reason for this exhibition! Surely South Africa can't fail to see the subtle message in this? His genitals on display as a painting represents his sexual tomfoolery continuously on display to all. His never ending love conquests & reckless attitude towards sex in a nation besieged by HIV/AIDS is pure mockery to the fight against the disease. The painting on display should jolt some self consciousness to this shameless man with an unhealthy sexual appetite.
The Spear exposes this pillock for what he truly is. The only problem I see is that the artist Murray may have been too generous in giving Zuma's genitals a perhaps larger than life size
