Fence Sittin' by
Luke Warm
Luke Warm's
Fence Sittin' cartoon strip ran weekly in
Mmegi newspaper in Botswana from 1990-2 and won the
1990 Botswana Press Trust Cartoon Award. Mmegi is
run by an independent trust and is the most
respected newspaper in Botswana. It is rightly
regarded as the campaigning conscience of the
media.
Fence Sittin'
covered national and international political and
social issues including the minimum wage, the poor
state of the health service, government corruption,
excessive military spending, government bias and
censorship in the media, aids, apartheid
etc.
A book of over 90
of these cartoons with accompanying text by Titus
Mbuya, editor of Mmegi, was put together in 1992.
It was to have been published in Botswana in 1993
until both the local publisher and then his printer
pulled out. Almost all publishing in Botswana is in
government contracts.
