<p>South Africa&#8217;s president is suing over a newspaper cartoon that depicted him preparing to rape a blindfolded woman depicting justice.</p>
<p>The cartoon caused a storm when the South African Sunday Times published it in 2008, but President Jacob Zuma had not followed up on threats to sue until now.</p>
<p>Eric van der Berg, a lawyer for the Sunday Times, said notice had arrived at the paper&#8217;s Johannesburg offices.</p>
<p>Mr Zuma is claiming four million rand (about £370,000) for humiliation and degradation, and another one million rand for damage to his reputation.</p>
<p>Prosecutors dropped corruption charges that Mr Zuma had been facing before he took office last year. He had also been acquitted of rape charges in 2006.</p>
