South African artist Ayanda Mabulu is trending on Twitter as people there react to his latest controversial art work showing President Jacob Zuma having sex with Nelson Mandela. The Nelson Mandela Foundation has issued a statement saying that though it respects the right to freedom of expression it finds the "painting distasteful".

The governing ANC says it finds the work "grotesque, inflammatory and of bad taste - but the party also defends the right for the artist to express himself.

Mabulu has in the past drawn a number of pictures showing the president in sexually explicit positions.

Freedom is overrated these days. If them arrest am, throw am for jail, you go dey see #FreeMabulu #IStandWithMabulu for Twitter. Fvcking maggot

Nobody go yan about d rubbish wey him do wey him no fit justify in one sentence. Fvcking maggot

South Africans should deal with their problems alone. Left for me alone, nothing about that country interest's me anymore.

I am surprised that the same group of hypocrites who say that art is self-expression would find an art oeuvre distasteful. I do not see it as anything distasteful. Humans have painted images they claim to represent God in very offensive manners but people tend to ignore. Poor citizens have been painted in all manners and no one says anything. Children have been painted nude and Africans have been painted in very horrendous and offensive manners but people tend to ignore. This crazy cherrypicking of special individuals is insane. Mandela is nothing better than the ordinary man in the streets. He is dead and this reverence for a dead man is pure madness.
If you let the artist take advantage of the common man and you term it self-expression, then let all artists enjoy their freedom to explore and express their creativity to the fullest.

Arrest that guy immediately

Hmm

I just dey imagine how disgusting that will be



eeewwww

rubbish

IKPU NKU TETE!!!

Mandela didn't die for this. Hell nah!

South African have started like kenya

Try it Nigeria and die with your family

Really disrespectful and distasteful. There must be something wrong with the man who drew this piece of garbage.

Trash ....He should be advised to stop patronizing Nigerians' imported weeds, it will damage his brain

WEY-REY People

What nonsense!!!

Abeg the guy should be flogged.








It won't hurt to check my signature.

Art is all about expressing feelings...the painter can explain better what the paint is...to me he might trying to let people about Zuma dancing to Mandela tones

It is disrespectful to Mr. Mandela since he has passed away.
