Photos: Man wins best art in a cartoon contest organised to mock President Trump
Iranian cartoonist, Hadi Asadi, has won the best art in a cartoon competition organized to mock US President Donald Trump.Hundreds of cartoonists from around the world were said to have taken part in the exhibition of the Islamic Republic's 2017 International Trumpism cartoon and caricature contest, which held in the capital Tehran on July 3, 2017, but it was Asadi whose cartoon was chosen from among 1,600 entries from 75 countries.
His winning image, shows the US president wearing a jacket of dollar bills and with burning yellow hair.
Speaking to the Associated Press after his victory, he said:
“I wanted to show Trump while trampling symbols of culture,” Asadi, who spent two weeks working on the cartoon, said.
He added that the focus of his piece was on Trump’s “money-mindedness and war monger nature.”
Two U.S. contestants were awarded for their entries. Robert Jones Clayton, again, compared Trump to Hitler while another cartoon by Ed Wexler showed the president being pursued by a snowball with a red hammer and sickle emblem on it—a reference to an ongoing investigation into Trump staff and their connections to the Kremlin.
Hadi Asadi was given a trophy and an award with a cash prize of $1,500.

South African journalist sacked for calling President Zuma a 'zombie'
A popular South African radio presented has been fired by the Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), for calling President Jacob Zuma a "zombie" in a Facebook post, the privately owned News 24 site has reported.
According to SABC spokesman, Kaizer Kganyago, he said OAP Ravi Govender's contract was terminated because of concerns that he had brought the public broadcaster into disrepute.
Although, the Radio Lotus presenter had earlier apologized for the post that he said he had put up in anger after listening to a speech by the President at the governing African National Congress' (ANC) policy conference in the main city, Johannesburg, on Friday
“Just heard a Zombie Zuma giving a speech on the news. Massacring the beautiful English language. Uneducated creature. Even the other moron [Zimbabwe's President Robert] Mugabe speaks much better," he was reported to have said in the post which was later deleted.
Mr. Zuma’s son, Edward, accused Mr. Govender of hate speech and threatened legal action against him.
“We fail as a family to understand what prompted Ravi Govender to make such a statement referring to our father as a zombie. Is this still part of freedom of speech? We believe that this is the worst form of abuse of democracy that many of our leaders fought so hard to achieve,” he was quoted by Times Live as saying.

The City Market in Lusaka has the biggest number of traders in Zambia. They sell second-hand clothes, electrical appliances, hardware and food among many other goods.
Ugandan Govt bans female public servants from showing cleavage in the office
The Ugandan government through the Ministry of Public Service has banned public servants from dressing indecently to the office.
In a circular tweeted by privately owned Observer newspaper, it says women are not allowed to show their cleavage nor wear dresses or skirts that are above the knees. Sleeveless blouses or any clothing made out of see-through material are equally not permitted.
Women's pant-suits are allowed, but female public servants will not wear any tight-fitting clothing. Flat, open shoes are also ruled out, except in cases where one can prove that it is for medical reasons.
The circular further states that accessories should be modest, and women should not have bright hair colour, braids or extensions.
For the men, they are required to wear neat, long-sleeved shirts, jackets and ties, trousers that are not tight, keep their hair short and neat, and also not wear brightly-coloured clothes.
The circular, derived from the 2010 Public Service Standing Orders on dress-code, was forced to be put in place following the high rate of indecent dressing in the office.
See the circular below...
Policeman who proposed to boyfriend at Gay Pride says he 'wished he hadn't'
A police officer who proposed to his boyfriend last year at London's Gay Pride has said he regretted his decision to make a public proposal after the video went viral and hateful comments followed, with some wishing them dead.PC Phil Adlem shocked his boyfriend and the thousands of people present at the Gay Pride event when he stepped away from his duties, went down on one knee and popped the question.
His partner replied in the affirmative and they shared a romantic kiss in front of the cheering crowd. Videos of the romantic proposal quickly spread online and so did the hate comments.
Writing for The Guardian, Phil now admits he wished he never made the public proposal due to the shocking abuse he has faced online. He said the immediate responses were positive and warm but when he went online the vile comments wiped the smile off his face.
He said:
"I looked through the online comments from the British public. Most were fantastic. But my smile did not last long as I continued reading."
He found comments that were downright homophobic and some that were simply too vile to be repeated.
"Both should be hanged till death," one comment read and another went: "don't blame ISIS if they strike them".He was offered media interviews but turned them all down as a result of the hateful comments. It was no better at work as Phil became the recipient of hate from a colleague, causing him to regret proposing in public.
Phil said:
"A further hostile reaction at work from one of my colleagues and another from an old college friend was enough for me to wish I had never done it."Phil, who is a speaker for an LGBT charity, also revealed he was subjected to a brutal homophobic attack on his 18th birthday.
He added:
"Despite all this, I know I am lucky. I am lucky to live in a time when I can join the police service as an openly gay man – and I have previous generations to thank for that. But even among young people in Britain today, my story is far from unique.
