FPB supports MXit ban on sex offenders

“MXit's zero-tolerance policy against paedophilia and paedophiles on its platforms and society at large is commendable; it comes at a crucial time when children are most likely to be drawn to social networking platforms during and after the 2010 Soccer World Cup. We also hope that other industry players will soon follow its example and protect the country's assets - its children,” said Yoliswa Makhasi, chief executive of the Film and Publication Board (FPB). She was commenting on the statement released late last week by MXit that it would ban offenders from its system.
