Zuma- Did the painting do much damage?

Jacob Zuma is often the star of my pieces, and today we have to mention him once more. 

The Goodman gallery is in deep water after displaying  a painting by Brett Murray, of our fierce leader, Jacob Zuma, with his genitals hanging loose. 

On the news JZ was saying how it made him look like a philanderer with low morals. (Unlike his own actions do)

Justice Minister, Jeff Radebe wants the picture banned, Arts and Culture Minister, Paul Mashatile, found that the picture was an insult to JZ and it denigrated the national coat of arms. (seriously)

The spokeman for the ANC woman's league (a man), Troy Martens, found the painting an insult to all South Africans (I disagree of course) and subjected the president to be portrayed in a sexual manner. The SA Communict Party, called it 'sadistic'. Basically all of the people who love JZ, were against the painting. 

Okay, let us now look at the following. Zuma has had 6 wives (has 4 now), has fathered around 20 little Zuma's, had had some of these children from affairs thus out of wedlock, has been on trial for rape (okay he was found not guilty but he still had sex with her- with no condom- she was HIV positive. Oh but he showered afterwards)..over and above this, he still has hundreds of corruption claims hovering over his head, he leads like a frog...and he really thinks a painting showing his member , will insult him and make the public think less of him than the fantastic job he is doing? 

South Africa has so many big and deserving issues that need to be addressed- poverty, healthcare, education, job creation, housing..the list is close to endless. That the government and the president have time to spend on an insignificant painting, that has done little more to damage Zuma's image than he himself has done, is troubling.
