Abstract
Political cartoons communicate powerful politically inclined renditions reflective of how cartoonists view contestable contemporary issues in society. All over the world, political cartoons that satirize governance practices are a common feature in the press. As in economies of many African states, from 2016 to 2019 the Namibian economy has generally been on the decline, thereby calling for new thinking in socio-economic and fiscal policies of the country. This qualitative study employs the connotative and denotative model of analysis from the Bathesian semiological perspective to reveal how a purposive sample of political cartoons in the Namibian newspapers, exposes how Dudley satirizes mainly against poor service delivery, corruption, and unequal distribution of wealth in Namibia. The study recommends the adoption of a servant-leadership approach based on Ubuntu.
