Actually those not banned were heavily censored. The first film to be released totally uncut here was BASIC INSTINCT.

Very odd. What was the uhhh rationale for permitting an uncensored shot of a vulva in a country that censors literally everything else...?

By 1993, the apartheid censor board was on its way out. Public opinion had turned against it and news reports suggested that the board was submitting "offensive" material to itself just to remain relevant. I think they just gave up, really 😳

Now, that what I'd call a good beginning.
