Of course it is, because as you correctly note, 'Carthago' is feminine; 
but Zizek, presumably, is not. Hence he is delendus rather than 
delenda. 

As for 'no th in Latin', I suggest a quick look at L&S or OLD. 
'Cart(h)ago' is of course not a native Latin word.

A man should take care not to be made a proverb; and, therefore, should avoid 
having any one topick of which people can say, "We shall hear him upon it."
