Jacob Zuma

=== "The Spear" painting ===
In 2012, Zuma was featured in a [[satirical]] painting by Cape Town-based artist [[Brett Murray]], who depicted him in his painting ''[[The Spear (painting)|The Spear]]'', with his genitals exposed. The ANC responded by threatening court action against the gallery showing the painting, and further demanding that the image should be removed from online sources.<ref>{{cite news|last=Stephen|first=Grootes|title=Zuma portrait saga goes to court|url=http://www.ewn.co.za/en/2012/05/19/Zuma%20portrait%20saga%20goes%20to%20court.aspx|access-date=19 May 2012|newspaper=Eyewitness News|date=19 May 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130602173211/http://ewn.co.za/en/2012/05/19/Zuma%20portrait%20saga%20goes%20to%20court.aspx|archive-date=2 June 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Just Hanging Out|date=18 May 2012|url=http://6000.co.za/just-hanging-out/|publisher=6000 Miles from Civilization|access-date=19 May 2012|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121020034534/http://6000.co.za/just-hanging-out/|archive-date=20 October 2012}}</ref> On 22 May 2012, the painting was vandalised while it was hanging in an art gallery in Johannesburg.
