[1]       Legal test for determining complaint that feature film violated clause 7.1.1 of the Code – televisioncomplaint that same adjudged to be degrading, depraved, highly disturbing and morally devastating to public morals.

 [2]       Held – The legal test in determining whether material can be categorised as such, is not what is offensive to an individual or whether members of a community themselves might be offended by seeing it, but what the community will tolerate, and what members of such community would not abide other members seeing because it would be beyond the contemporary South African standard of tolerance to allow them to see it – it is the standard of tolerance, not taste or approval that is relevant.
