THE Independent Communications Authority of SA (Icasa) has granted pay channel Top TV the rights to broadcast pornography on their station, the regulator said yesterday.
Gender organisation Women and Children Against Child Abuse (WMACA) expressed shock at Icasa's decision.
"We at MMACA are shocked and appalled that Icasa has granted permission to Top TV to broadcast pornography," said Luke Lamprecht, spokesman for the organisation.
But, Top TV CEO Eddie Mbalo has -in a statement - hailed the Icasa green light as "a victory for democracy and freedom of speech and choice in our country".
The statement added: "What TopTV proposed in its application is that the channels will be offered as a completely separate, stand-alone package to the current TopTV channel offering. _
