Just a bit of background to the photo, this Zebra was part of the Zebra Campaign of the World for all Foundation:
"The overarching message represented by the Zebra is that “not all is black and white.” It is an invocation to avoid simplicity and embrace complexity, to avoid binaries and to ensure respectful co-existence of difference and opposites, to shun extremes and to find the middleground, and never to repeat the apartheid experience of dividing people. Moreover, the Zebra also signifies a place in a busy road to crossover safely to the other side.
The specific and unique message conveyed by each Zebra will be a combination of a wisdom articulated and exemplified by Nelson Mandela, and an artistic interpretation thereof by an artist" (http://www.worldforall.org/campaigns/48-zebra-campaign)

In terms of the painting I think the reflections of Phumla Matjila (http://www.arttimes.co.za/news_read.php?news_id=2170 ) are very wise and seem more in line with the self-reflective, magnanimous and educative nature of Nelson Mandela than the ANC's utterances. That said though it still seems insensitive to portray someone that is alive as dead, no matter who it is.
