Complaints were received in regard to a programme, which forms part of a series, that the introductory recap of the previous episode was from a sexual point of view too explicit. The Tribunal held that although the soapie itself did not warrant an age restriction or a classification, the recap of rather intimate kissing, implied sex and fondling in the previous episode was of such a nature that it should have been broadcast later, or carried an advisory that the said material was about to be shown.
The complaint was upheld and a fine of R10 000 was imposed.
