Puppets on the web

On October 2nd I mentioned Archbishop Emeritus Tutu’s birthday (TODAY!!!) and the launch of his lovely children’s book God’s Dream.

The Star newspaper has a nice supplement today on the Archbishop’s book and his amazing life so far. Let me repeat what I said on October 2nd: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! And thanks for being a beacon of sense and hope throughout and against the world’s madly spin.

Moving on.

Finally after 10 years in the making internationally acclaimed cartoonist Zapiro’s TV show is on air. At least on the web.

Influenced by the famous 70s, British TV show Spitting Image, Zapiro (with the help of friends) has put together the ZA News Show.

After controversies and failed deals with local broadcasters SABC, M-Net and e-TV, the puppet satire is finally alive and kicking on the web under the slogan “Because here we can”. Watch it on www.zanews.co.za

It will have 3 minute clips from Tuesday till Friday and a longer version on Saturday. The show is sponsored by Kulula and the Mail & Guardian . You can also watch the show via their sites. SA political, TV satire finally has arrived.
