P Diddy was saddened after being outbid on a $1.2m Pablo Picasso painting.

A Johannesburg gallery says it has agreed to remove from its website a painting that depicts the South African president’s genitals.

South African president Jacob Zuma and his African National Congress sought a court order to have a painting depicting his genitals removed from an art gallery - but two men took matters into their own hands by defacing the portrait with paint.

South Africa’s governing ANC party is to take legal action to remove a painting from an exhibition that ridicules the party and the president with graphic imagery.
