Zapiro can't wait to lay his hands on Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu. That is, the 18cm polyresin version of him. The cartoonist, real name Jonathan Shapiro, is waiting with bated breath for Johannesburg sculptor Judd Simantov to complete the latest addition to his collection of political figurines.They include a jiving Madiba, President Jacob Zuma dancing on a bed of money with a shower head attached to his head, and a rather overweight Julius Malema mimicking the shower meme."Tutu is in the making, but there has been a delay."I can't wait to have him in my hands. The sculpt is absolutely beautiful. We have Tutu walking on water, based on one of my earlier cartoons," Shapiro said.The cartoonist has often butted heads with the president and his supporters - in particular for depicting Zuma with a shower head following his revelation that as a precautionary measure he had showered after having sex with an HIV-positive woman.Zuma supporters have labelled Zapiro racist and a rightwinger.The figurine of Madiba is "far and away the most popular", Shapiro said."At this point you have a hero - Madiba - an absolute villain in Zuma and a kind of antihero in Juju."When we started doing Malema, people were saying will there be enough interest in him? There certainly has been."Some people consider him controversial, some like what he says and others don't."Then there are people who don't like everything about him, but they are hugely impressed by how much of an impact he has made in parliament and how much pressure he has put on Zuma and the ANC."Shapiro said Zuma and Juju were equally popular."The people who want to buy these Zumas - I don't know how many of them actually love him."People love the satire of it ... he's dancing on a bed of money - and he's got the shower, which people really dig."There is really power and energy in the Zuma sculpt, as there is in all of them."He has not received any negative reaction to the figurines."There tends to be reaction to very hard-hitting things that I say in my cartoons. The figurines are almost a generic version of what I try to say in the cartoons."And he has no intention of making a slimmer version of Juju."When public figures suddenly change, it's a nightmare for a cartoonist. I don't have a desire to change Juju and do a slimmed-down version."This one captures the essence of what made him such a big figure in South Africa."The figurines retail for R1,199 for three or R500 each...
