A documentary on political satire, which the SABC canned just before elections last month, will be broadcast on Tuesday evening, The Times newspaper reported.

The show includes material by cartoonist Jonathan Shapiro, known as Zapiro, who is being sued by President Jacob Zuma for a cartoon portraying him about to rape "Lady Justice".

This cartoon was published when Zuma was still embroiled in court bids to have graft charges dropped against him.

The documentary also features material from the Z-News satire which was produced by Zapiro and shows Zuma trying to flee from the National Prosecuting Authority and axed president Thabo Mbeki in drag, singing "I will survive".

The Zapiro documentary was pulled from the Special Assignment show just before general elections in April.

The Times reported the show that will be broadcast on Tuesday had been updated and included an interview with Zapiro about his decision to detach the notorious shower head from Zuma's head in his cartoons.

Special Assignment airs at 8.30pm on SABC 3 on Tuesday night.
