SABC fined R15 000 by BCCSA for violent movie

Cape Town – The SABC has been fined R15 000 by the Broadcasting Complaints Commission of South Africa (BCCSA) for showing a violent movie as well as bare breasts at 20:00 with the wrong age restriction.

The SABC was fined R15 000 for showing the violent film Dark Blue with Kurt Russell a PG13L age restriction instead of PG 16LV.

"The air was dark blue with the non-stop profanity and obvious blasphemy - the violence intense and maybe should even get an 18 rating. There are also implied sex acts as well as at least one scene in a strip club with naked breasts show," complained a viewer.
