The BBC's Milton Nkosi reports from the Goodman Gallery in Johannesburg
A controversial painting showing South Africa's President Jacob Zuma with his genitals hanging out has been vandalised in an art gallery.
The BBC's Andrew Harding at the gallery in Johannesburg said two men covered the art work in black and red paint
It comes as the governing ANC was asking the High Court to force the Goodman Gallery to remove the painting.
The $14,000 (£9,000) 1.85m-high Soviet-style, red black and yellow acrylic painting had already been sold
Called The Spear, the painting is by Brett Murray, who is known for his political and provocative work.
"The portrait depicts me in a manner that suggests I am a philanderer, a womaniser and one with no respect” Jacob Zuma.
mmmmh! Huyu painter ni KIBOKO! Hao wabibi wako kama walitaka kuanguka!
