No Nudity Warning Required For Dstv's Shaka Zulu Series Despite Complaint (pix) by TMKsouth: 5:33pm On Jun 29, 2023
The Broadcasting Complaints Commission of South Africa (BCCSA) has dismissed a complaint by a viewer who wanted to stop the airing of promotional content featuring bare-breasted actors on Mzansi Magic’s much-loved historical drama series, Shaka ILembe.


BCCSA SAYS SHOW MUST GO ON

Multichoice argued that the show’s promos that depict nudity are aired during programmes that are not suitable for children.

“The complaint was dismissed by the Broadcasting Complaints Commission of South Africa (BCCSA) because our broadcast scheduled all promos that showed bare-breasted women after watershed [the time after which programmes that are regarded as unsuitable for children are broadcast on television],” MultiChoice said.

“Further, in line with classification guidelines, if the nudity is in a cultural context, no nudity warning is required. The overall age restriction for the series is 16.”


UNCLOTHENESS DOES NOT MEAN SEX OR SEXINESS OR SEXUALITY

In addition, University of KwaZulu-Natal cultural expert Dr Gugu Mazibuko said that history cannot be distorted as the series is based on the life of one of King Shaka.

While Wits Institute for Social and Economic Research associate professor Hlonipha Mokoena said: “The first assumption is that unclothedness means sex or sexiness or sexuality. Second, the assumption is that only women’s nudity equals objectification; men are assumed to never need to be protected from objectification.”

Mokoena added that no actor or actress would be forced to show their body if they were uncomfortable to do so and no actor or actress would be denied a part in Shaka iLembe if they decided they didn’t want to show their body.

“Even here, two issues are being confused — culture and the making of the film. From our initial discussions about the series after extensive consultation with the lead cast, we made a policy decision that while we wanted to be authentic in representing the period, no actor or actress would be forced to reveal their body if it made them feel uncomfortable or exploited.”

it's most definitely a white South African, those people are so fragile they could break. I watch that show, there's no gross nudity

‘SHAKA ILEMBE’ MAKES HISTORY

On another note, the cinematography of this show is just outstanding, the acting, the pacing, and the pure Zulu dialogue

If Davido is to feature in this Movie, he will probably Have Raw sex with the nude actresses. Impregnate one or two, not even having to mind the prevalence of HIV in SA.

Davido, call ya preeq to order!!!

IsiZulu prioritisation is taking us back as blacks. It's creating Zulu superiority.

Davido is seriously disgusting. He behaves like an animal. But that's also why there'll be 1 billion Nigerians in the near future - zero sexual inhibition or dignity amongst Nigerian men.

So? what's the difference here? They are both TV shows, aren't they? if viewers are complaining of the sex scenes on one show, logic dictates they should do the same on the other

Nah man, have to disagree, I'm not Zulu myself but you have to take the stature and the legend that is Shaka Zulu into consideration, I think his legend transcends language and tribe politics, When people mention the likes of Napoleon, Ghengis Khan, Alexander the Great, etc, Shaka Zulu is also mentioned, his one the greatest warriors ever lived and the lure to his story is understandable, to be honest

I'm speaking about long term trends on DSTV - there's an overwhelming overrepresentation of isiZulu. They also just launched a Zulu news bulletin at the expense of everyone else. 90% of shows have Zulu titles and casts overrepresented by 70 to 80% speaking Zulu.

It's gonna come back to bite us all one day. I stopped supporting local DSTV content forever ago. The rest of you will wake up too late.

I think the show is blocked in your region like BBMzansi and other shows are for nudity reasons and liberal reasons.

Please tell me if others in West Africa are receiving our signal.
