South African Zebra [picture] /

Published in the Canberra Times on 24 July 1986.; Part of the Pryor collection of cartoons and drawings. In a speech calling for engagement with the apartheid regime in South Africa, President Reagan who is known to view South Africa through the US cold-war prism of 'democracy versus communism' claimed that South Africa was like a zebra - "if the white parts are injured, the black parts will die too'.. Not surprisingly, many were left unconvinced.--Information provided by Geoff Pryor
