Darul Ihsan Centre, a non-profit welfare, educational and Islamic organisation would like to place on record our absolute objection and opposition to TopTV’s application and intention to broadcast pornography via its satellite television network.

We add our voice to all individuals and organisations, including welfare and religious, who are campaigning against the broadcast of pornography.

Pornography in any form is absolutely condemned in Islam and is harmful to the moral fibre of our society.

Civil society, faith-based groups and Muslim organisations have a responsibility to place pressure on the Independent Communications Authority of SA (ICASA) not to allow TopTV’s proposal to come into effect.

The South African public and all interested parties can comment on TopTV's porn channel plans with correspondence to be posted to: Ndondo Dube, Broadcasting Licencing Unit, Licencing and Compliance Division, Block D, Pinmill Farm, 164 Katherine Street, Sandton, 2196. Alternatively, Private Bag X10002, Sandton, 2146. Via e-mail: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or fax 011 566 3200.
