Kannemeyer tackles a lot of issues politicians + journalists tend to shy away from, by using a mixture of the stereotypes associated with political cartooning. He uses a Tintin-like figure to portray himself, as a white African trapped in his own incriminating skin; a character who cannot escape his colonial past regardless of his personal political convictions. Kannemeyer's commentary on post-apartheid society + the current bigotry bred by political correctness and hierarchy, has created a new brand of socio-political satire in South Africa.
Kannemeyer is co-editor of Bitterkomix, a satirical comic magazine.

The dude's got balls.
