Jonathan Zapiro, famously known as Zapiro, is no stranger to the South African media. 

His cartoons, books, and witty satire have not only won him many awards, but caused quite a stir among politicians and our very own President too. 

While speaking to Martin and Tumi, Zapiro said that he "gets in trouble a lot" and touched on some of the toughest situations his work has ever landed him in. 

Zapiro said on Monday that ideas and concepts can pop into his head at any time.

"I wish I could say that they gonna come at a scheduled time, but it doesn't happen like that," he told Breakfast with Martin Bester and Tumi Morake. 

In Martin's words, "when Zapiro is around, no one is safe".
