So, Mbeki is out.....

This sculpture of Mbeki (all other political figures past and present are also similarly skewered) is in the town of Darling, north of Cape Town at Pieter Dirk Uys' political satire museum and restaurant....a must see for all who enjoy commentary on the antics of our politicians!
