Zuma Painting Vandalized In S.African Gallery
Two men on Tuesday vandalized a portrait of President Jacob Zuma posing as Lenin with his genitals hanging out in a Johannesburg gallery, as a court case over the painting got under way.
A red X was painted over Zuma's face and black paint smeared across the image, according to an Agence France Presse reporter at the private Goodman Gallery. The eNews television station showed images of two men defacing the painting.
The vandalism occurred as about 100 supporters of the ruling African National Congress sang and danced in downtown Johannesburg in support of Zuma, during a court hearing on the party's request to force the gallery to remove the painting.

Funny, Dominique Struass-Khan - gets involved in a did he or didn't he rape in the USA - loses his job, loses his chance to run in the French presidetial election - while Senor Zuma, was in a similar situation, PLUS has oodles of wives - still becomes President on SA, and then he gets angry by an artwork depicting him with his genitals out? Then two dufus impi types (haha) attack the artwork (which by the way, actually makes the artwork MORe famous) - makes me very sad to think I was born in such a backward thinking country.
