How the FPB gives movies and games their age restrictions

They should just disband. They're unnecessary leeches. Too many leeches in South Africa, these days. I don't have fokkol of my money left, after I pay for the 200 levies and 300 taxes, they've implemented.

Not only that, but also why we have so many crap on TV, especially DSTV. Even Netflix. If you cannot access US content, even they are a waste.
 
Wow!

When you distribute media in South Africa – like a movie – you must register with the FPB and get your content classified.

Internet content providers must also register with the board.

If you register online, the fee is R1,121, and the online renewal of distribution certificates is R152 per year.

Once registered, you submit your content for classification – which also attracts a fee.

To get a new English-language movie rated, you will pay the FPB R2,243. Film trailers are then R22 to classify.

For series, the price is R2,243 for the first three hours of a foreign production. If your show runs for four or more hours, the tariff is R3,577.

South African series get a discount – R2,243 for the first five hours, and R3,250 for five or more hours.

These tariffs are currently under review, however, as the FPB has proposed price increases for classifying content and an annual license fee for online distributors.

JHC, talk about creating jobs for cronies :rolleyes:

When AI comes to the table proper, FPB jobs should be the first to go...and then whoever had the job of coming up with this BS.

If I were *Netflix I'd have flipped them the bird aaages ago.
With this money they're, probably-definitely, sponsoring some form of corruption.

* I'm well aware that this article isn't about Netflix. I'm using them as an example.
