John Webb spoke to the director "Of Good Report" Jahmil Qubeka and the Producer: Micheal Aurent, who accused the Film and Publications Board that its run by the Departments of Home Affairs, which failing to deliver ID's and Price Ndamase Head of Communications at Film and Publications Board said, "He will not respond the political comments made by Jahmil Qubeka". but he explain the reason for banning the movie.
of A South African movie about a schoolteacher who falls for a student has become the first film to be banned since 1994. The film "Of Good Report" was the first not to receive classification since the Film and Publication Board was created. According to the newspaper, the decision was made based on the depiction of a simulated sexual act involving the 16-year-old student, who was played by a 23-year-old actress. "The child porn thing smacks of the greatest ignorance, incompetence and downright stupidity," director Jahmil XT Qubeka was quoted as telling the newspaper.
Board spokesman Prince Mlimandlela Ndamase reportedly told the Sunday Times the film was banned because it contained "content that carries an illegal act in it". "We need to emphasise that, ordinarily, we would not refuse the right of viewers to see the content, but in the interests of the protection of the child and our laws that exist in the country, child pornography is one of these things that are not legally permissible in the country."
This third film from South African director Jahmil XT Qubeka tells the sombre tale of a small-town high-school teacher with a penchant for young girls. The result is an hypnotically engaging journey into the soul of a mentally troubled man. The trouble for Parker Sithole begins when he meets the undeniably gorgeous Nolitha Ngubane at a local tavern. Captivated by her beauty, an illicit affair ensues. However, there’s just one problem: Nolitha is one of Parker’s pupils and is just sixteen years old. Parker quickly spirals into a deep obsession that ultimately becomes violent and unquenchable.
