That it was blocked on the basis of what she was is not right, but that it was blocked on that basis is not clear… Can we please get clarity, in the form of a statement from the Broadcaster?

Let us know please!

“I am Cait” has been removed by Multi-Choice from the E-Entertainment channel due to complaints in Nigeria. Why should this effect our viewing in SA – if they don’t like what is shown on the E-Entertainment channel, then remove the channel from Nigeria. We are subscribers as much as they are subscribers, but you would think Multi-Choice would consider the priorities of SA first.

The fact that Multi-Choice have stated the reason was due to complaints received by Nigeria should in itself been seen as the wrong approach to follow. The law in SA is subject to the Constitution, and the Constitution categorically states in section 9(3) the state may not unfairly discriminate directly or indirectly against anyone on one or more grounds, including race, gender, sex, pregnancy, marital status, ethnic or social origin, colour, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, language and birth. Section 9(4) NO PERSON may unfairly discriminate directly or indirectly against anyone on one or more grounds in terms of subsection (3)

The grounds for Multi-Choice refusal to screen “I am Cait” goes against section 9 of the Constitution of South Africa. Again what another country which subscribes to Multi-Choice wants and does not not want to see has no legal bindings on what the viewers in SA can see.
