Sidelines

Mandela on top of the world
ON TOP OF THE WORLD: Just as Mandela's dream to see South Africa host the Soccer World Cup is realised, so is the world's dream to see him appear at the Cup's closing ceremony. Wilson MGOBHOZI records that brief moment for posterity in this iconic cartoon.
[THIS CARTOON forms part of MGOBHOZI's winning portfolio for the 2011 Mondi Shanduka Newspaper Awards. Read his commentary on the cartoon in the Sidelines column, above].
