Pick n Pay Clothing has partnered with South African cartoonist Zapiro (Jonathan Shapiro) for a limited edition line of t-shirts to celebrate South Africa’s national Springboks Rugby team.
“When Pick n Pay Clothing asked me to get involved with a campaign expressing how South Africa’s diversity is our strength, I felt my rugby cartoons could have the best impact.”
Pick n Pay Clothing executive, Hazel Pillay, says: “In his own unique way, Zapiro has written the story of South Africa over the past three decades. His rugby cartoons beautifully depict how we stand together and use our diversity to excel on the international stage.
“Everyone knows who he is, and his work cuts across society. He has a wonderful way of being inclusive in how he describes where we are as a country and where we have been, and we couldn’t have a better partner as we celebrate the pinnacle South African rugby has achieved.”
Here are three of the five cartoons chosen for the line-up.
Brilliant initiative! I was fortunate enough to spend an afternoon with Zapiro while he did a book-signing and what a humble great creative talent he is! This is a super way to acknowledge both the Springboks Rugby team and the creativity of Zapiro. (Not to mention South African diversity and our ‘gees.”
