Complaints were received about the airing of a programme at 17:30. The programme amounted to what appears to have been a mock trial of two estranged lovers. The Complaint by the female partner was that the respondent had made an intimate video of her bathing, without her having been aware of it. The complaints in the matter were that somewhat intimate, sexually suggestive material was included at the end of the programme. The male respondent in the mock trial was ordered by the judge to take part, in scanty attire, in what may be described as an adult party where sexual innuendo, sexually provocative advances, and scanty attire were the order of the day.
The Tribunal held that the episode should not have been broadcast in such an early slot and should have been broadcast after 20:00 with due classification. A fine of R10 000 was imposed for the contravention.
