The National Geographic Channel, which broadcasts on MultiChoice's pay-TV platform DStv, aired promos for a show called Sex Slaves, which contained scenes of nudity and sexuality, without an age restriction on South African television in the morning - when children are likely to be watching.
The BCCSA, in its judgement, didn't fine MultiChoice but said that "to simply thrust upon younger children promotional material in a programme where there is no age limit, and in the morning, is unsuitable".
TV channels in South Africa are not, according to the broadcasting code of conduct, allowed to broadcast promotional material which is unsuitable for children or contains nudity or sexual conduct, violence or offensive language before the watershed period.
