'Broken Spear'?

NEWSWATCH: Not content with having City Press and the Goodman Gallery remove "The Spear" from website and public view, the SACP's Blade Nzimande wants it destroyed, reports Times Live. Meanwhile, the DA's Dene Smuts says the FPB's efforts to classify the painting "hark back to Nazi Germany", reports Politicsweb, and Eye Witness News reports that the ANC and the Goodman Gallery are holding a joint news conference today and will "tell all".

For more:

Times Live: Blade: destroy 'Spear' painting... Most people seeing images of "The Spear" pretty comprehensively defaced would reckon it's essentially "destroyed", but Blade is blunt about it and his point is... destroy it utterly.
Politicsweb: FPB's actions hark back to Nazi Germany - Dene Smuts... According to its own admission, the Film and Publications Board has no jurisdiction over content published by media houses, and yet it is pursuing a course that the DA's Dene Smuts says harks back to Hitler. The work in its original form doesn't even exist anymore; it's been defaced and all the naughty bits hidden. Smuts reckons the FPB is being a bit daft.
EWN: ANC and Goodman Gallery to speak publicly... As so often happens, when meetings happen behind closed doors, afterwards it's a case of "They agreed..." and "Oh no, we didn't!" So the ANC and Goodman Gallery will be conducting a joint press conference this morning to "reveal all".
