Zapiro's June 2026 cartoon shows an e-troll fleeing a Johannesburg toll plaza with a sack of cash while a grandmother reads the tale to children. The image references ongoing disputes over Gauteng's electronic toll system and missing revenue. The upper panel depicts the toll gantry and city skyline with the troll escaping. The lower panel shows the domestic bedtime scene with the book titled Joburg Tales. The cartoon uses a children's story format to highlight public frustration with the toll collection process.
