BushyWopp - BestFriends

ZAR 0.00

A cop and a criminal stroll side by side, bags of cash swinging in their hands, a burning van glowing behind them. Best Friends throws a cheeky jab at the cosy dance between power and corruption - street-smart, sharp and uncomfortably familiar.

Step inside and sit with what makes you uncomfortable. That's where the real conversation starts.

Best Friends isn't just a scene, it's a punchline with a sting. BushyWopp lines up a cop and a criminal, both smiling, fists full of money while a police van burns behind them.

Drawn with playful precision, the piece leans into cartoon absurdity to expose something darker: the messy, tangled overlap of justice and exploitation in post-apartheid South Africa. It's satire, absolutely. But it's also a mirror, one that reflects too many real headlines to laugh off.

This is art that doesn't let you off easy. That finds humour in the uncomfortable spaces where power and corruption dance together like old friends. Where the punchline lands with weight.

Step inside and feel what happens when you recognize yourself in the joke.
