Who is Zebulon Dread?

Elliot Josephs, better known as Zebulon Dread, is a South African cultural icon and writer. He is a controversial celebrity, known for his political views.

Dread is most well known for his politically incorrect satirical self-publication, Hei Voetsek. Two later magazines, Poes! and Piel! parodied the sexism of consumer magazines. In addition, Dread published a number of satirical books. In 2002, disillusioned with the lack of transformation in South Africa, Josephs determined to retire his alter-ego, committing "ritual suicide." He explained, "I am going to give up the ghost of my alter-ego, Zebulon Dread, and depart for India in order to find the happiness that the liberation struggle failed to deliver".
