What has the SABC got to be scared of? For the second time the South African Broadcasting Corporation has pulled the documentary on political satire. Initially planned to be aired before the elections on April 22, it was withdrawn with the so-called excuse that it lacked balance. Slowly the powers that be at the SABC built up the courage and it was announced yesterday that the SABC would air the show on SABC 3 at 20:30 (Special assigment). Excitement built up during the day. Alas this was not to be. Somebody got cold feet again. Shortly before the show was to go on air, SABC spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago said that the documentary would not be aired “owing to the fact that due process with regards to consultation has not been concluded” and “Because of the problems encountered previously with this particular episode, the acting GCEO Mr Gab Mampone in his capacity as editor-in-chief will need to make the final sign-off.” More Zapiro cartoons on the SABC
