TopTV<\/a> acting CEO Eddie Mbalo<\/a> has said that they are still keen to offer adult content, like Playboy TV, to their subscribers. This content should however not be seen as porn, said Mbalo.<\/p>\n

Speaking on eTV Mbalo said that the idea of “porn channels” is a fabrication by the media, and that he sees their offering as adult entertainment.<\/p>\n

Mbalo added that their planned adult content is not too different from content which is carried by DStv and previously by eTV.<\/p>\n

The acting TopTV CEO said that their subscribers responded positively to the possible addition of adult content to the TopTV platform. “People want choice,” said Mbalo.<\/p>\n

Mbalo explained that the protection of children is a key priority to them, and that they have put very good systems in place to ensure that kids are not exposed to adult content.<\/p>\n

Mbalo slated the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA)<\/a> for stopping the broadcast of adult content, saying that it falls outside of their authority.<\/p>\n

TopTV is currently awaiting the reasons for the decision by ICASA on why they have blocked the broadcasting of adult content.<\/p>\n

ICASA said that their council will discuss the issue this week, and after it went through the legal processes TopTV will be provided with reasons for their decision.<\/p>\n
