An SABC documentary on political satire featuring cartoonist Zapiro is posted on the Mail & Guardian’s website after two aborted attempts to air it.

The Special Assignment episode appears on the website without narration or voiceover, suggesting that what had been posted may not be the final version of the show.

It has interviews with Zapiro, the pen-name of cartoonist Jonathan Shapiro, and ANC spokeswoman Jesse Duarte.

Perhaps most significantly, it shows a Zapiro cartoon of then-ANC president Jacob Zuma about to rape a depiction of ’Lady Justice’ while she is held down by his political allies. That cartoon unleashed a storm of controversy at the time of its publication, as Zuma was involved in a court bid to have his corruption charges dropped.

Zapiro is currently being sued by Zuma for libel. Zuma contends the cartoons are an attack on his dignity.

"It is not okay to draw Jacob Zuma with a shower on his head."
