Here's a bit of comic relief while you wait in the election queues on Wednesday.

More recently he painted EFF leader Julius Malema.
A few weeks ago there were suggestions he had even tried to paint former minister Malusi Gigaba.
Even political events are not safe from Rasta's brush, with the Soweto Uprising also being captured in a painting.
