MBEKI FILM SCREENED IN SOUTH AFRICA !

SABC denies being biased in favour of Mr Mbeki's government. South Africa's national broadcaster, SABC, has dropped a court action to halt the screenings of a documentary about President Thabo Mbeki.
The latest screening of the documentary then went ahead on Wednesday evening in Johannesburg followed by a discussion.
SABC originally commissioned the film but had not broadcast it on editorial grounds. It now says it will broadcast the film at a future date.
The controversial documentary is called Unauthorised: Thabo Mbeki.
Last year, SABC was accused of being biased in favour of the government - charges it strongly denied.
Despite cancelling the screening twice, SABC rejects accusations that it has been practising self-censorship.
The film has already been screened a few times but was due to be shown more widely later this month.
