1.1 (a) The Films and Publications Act 65 of 1996

(5) (b) What is “virtual child pornography”? What is the
legal position surrounding the issue of virtual child
pornography? (5)
1.1 (a) Two Possible Classifications of Publications Under the Films and
Publications Act 65 of 1996:
1. XX Classification (Refused Classification):
o A publication is classified as XX when it contains material that is deemed to be
harmful or illegal, such as child pornography, explicit sexual violence, or any
content that promotes or incites racial hatred. Publications with this classification
are prohibited from being distributed or possessed in South Africa.
2. X18 Classification:
o A publication is classified as X18 when it contains explicit adult content, such as
graphic sexual activity between consenting adults. However, these publications
can only be distributed or exhibited in licensed adult-only premises. Minors are
prohibited from accessing or purchasing X18 material.
1.1 (b) Virtual Child Pornography:
Definition: Virtual child pornography refers to any digitally created or altered images or
representations that depict children engaging in sexual activities or in a manner that
exploits or abuses children, even if no real children were involved in creating the images.
Legal Position: The Films and Publications Act 65 of 1996, as amended, prohibits any
form of child pornography, including virtual child pornography. Although no real
children are involved, virtual depictions are treated the same as real child pornography
because they perpetuate harmful social attitudes towards children and sexual exploitation.
Possession, production, and distribution of such materials are criminal offenses in South
Africa.
