The Zapiro show... Now you see it, now you don't
NEWSWATCH: First we were to see the Zapiro show on satire, then we weren't. Then we were, but again, we didn't. So reports IOL, which also ran a survey on the question of whether the broadcaster should be helped out of its mess - and 75% of respondents said the SABC should not be bailed out. The SABC meanwhile informed producers (but via SMS) that it was cancelling new productions, reports Filmmaker South Africa.
