Rasta has done it again, and this time poor Sheba the tiger – who was sadly shot and killed after her escape – is his latest victim.
The controversial artist shared not one, but two paintings of the wild cat who became an internet sensation this week.
But do either actually look anything like Sheba?

RASTA SHARES TWO TRIBUTE TO SHEBA
In the early hours of Wednesday morning, Sheba the tiger was found after escaping her Walker’s Fruit Farm enclosure on Saturday night.
Sadly, the tiger met her demise after a tracking team decided to euthanise her. This, after she had terrorised the community; attacking two dogs, a pig, and a 39-year-old male.
And in keeping with tributes to the tiger, which flooded social media, Rasta decided to share his own artistic impression of the wild animal.
But tweeps were less than impressed with his efforts…
@DeeLeratoMolete: “I see an image of a giraffe with stripes
@Tebo____: “This looks more like Gwede Mantashe than Sheba.”
@AyoSithole: “Looks like Sheba just finished chopping onions.”
@Tumisang_moch: “Why is the tiger laughing?”
Rasta then shared a look at a second painting of the tiger. He captioned it: “Sheba can run, but cant hide”.
But tweeps weren’t impressed with that one either.
@MaphikeSeth: “Mike Tyson in Sheba’s body”
CYRIL, PELE, AND MAMPINTSHA PORTRAITS
Apart from Sheba, Rasta has also shared portraits of two other prominent figures who died n recent weeks – Brazilian soccer star Pele and South African artist Mampintsha.
He’s also painted a portrait of President Cyril Ramaphosa…
