This paper explores some issues of the contested Zimbabwean 2008 Presidential Election as
it was represented in one-frame political cartoons published in a selection of Internet news
sites in the Zimbabwean diaspora. It argues that the cartoons may constitute the contours of
alternative communicative spaces, in which the cartoonists present arguments about the ongoing
Zimbabwean crisis. The cartoons may be able to present, in a visual form, issues and processes
that are not so easily covered in verbal journalism. The cartoons thus constitute elements of
journalistic practice in their own right.
