Fence Sittin'

Fence Sittin' by Luke Warm was published weekly by 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, is print ready but in need of a publisher. The book was to have been published in Botswana in 1993 but both the original local publisher and then his printer pulled out of the venture. Most publishing in Botswana is government contracts.
