Zikalala said that he was leaving with his head held high. Snuki Zikalala has always been surrounded by controversy especially for his support of the ANC and in particular his support for the Thabo Mbeki faction. Zuma supporters accused him of using the public broadcaster to promote Mbeki at the expense of Zuma. In 2006, Zikalala was at the centre of a ‘blacklisting’ scandal, involving the barring of political commentators believed to be critical of Mbeki. In 2007 Snuki manouvered the resignation of the veteran SABC journalist John Perlman. As a result of Zuma’s election victory at Polokwane and again in April 2009, it was only a matter of time for Snuki Zikalala to go. Click here for more Zapiro cartoons on Snuki Zikalala
