Film And Publication Board Postpones Zuma Penis Meeting
The Film and Publication Board sent a team of five classifiers to view and classify Brett Murray’s “The Spear”. In other words, it stands a chance of receiving an age-restriction. The classifiers were supposed to meet this morning to discuss the size, length, and visibility of Zuma’s penis (in the painting) in order to make an informed decision, but have now postponed it till next Tuesday.
A decision on whether or not the meeting would be open to the media had not been taken yet, board spokesman Prince Mlimandlela Ndamase said yesterday. But hey, as long as we are censoring stuff we might as well keep the media out as well, right?
This follows yesterday’s recusal of the board’s CEO Yoliswa Makhasi from the hearing on the classification after a complaint by City Press editor Ferial Haffajee that she was biased. Haffajee said on 567CapeTalk on this morning that Makhasi’s tweets during the hearing on Tuesday night indicated the hearing was purely for show.
“We looked at the tweets of the CEO and it was very clear that a decision had already been made… the issue had been pre-judged. It’s supposed to be an independent institution.”
The next hearing will now take place at 2pm on Tuesday.
