Thanks to the Mail & Guardian, Zoopy.com and others an unedited version of the “Special Assignment” documentary on political satire was made available to the public worldwide via the internet. The programme was posted on the Mail & Guardian’s website at 2.30pm on Wednesday. Within a few hours it almost brought the site down due to the number of hits they were getting. Within the next day, Zoopy.com also put up a version and this too has become extremely popular. Instead of accepting its error in judgement for withdrawing the show, the SABC laid a charge of “stolen property”. SABC’s executives showed exactly what material they are made of and Zapiro’s cartoon published in the Times on the 28th May 2009 illustrates where they have put their heads.
