A painting of President Jacob Zuma in traditional attire with his genitals exposed went on display at the AVA Gallery in Cape Town last night.

The Spear, which had also displayed Zuma with his penis exposed, was later withdrawn by the Goodman Gallery, removed from the City Press website and classified by the Films and Publications Board as unsuitable for under-16s.

The painting is dedicated to the miners who died in the Lonmin tragedy.
