QUESTIONS
On 4 October 2019 the President signed the Films and Publications Amendment Act 11 of 2019 into law, this
came into force on 1 March 2022. As we speak, this Act has drawn some sharp criticism from the media.
Some organisations described these amendments as, inter alia, unconstitutional, outrageous and as part
of the erosion of freedom of speech, while the Department of Home Affairs defended the amendments as
an attempt to protect children from potentially harmful and age-inappropriate material. For this assignment,
you are required to do a little independent research and discuss first and very briefly, the historical
development of censorship and secondly, the current classification process in South Africa. For your
conclusion, we are interested in your opinion on the proposed amendments as well as the reaction thereto.
This conclusion must not constitute your entire assignment and should therefore not be more than one
paragraph or 8 typed lines.
