The act repealed a number of acts of prior legislation which censored literary and media works under that country's previous apartheid government.
It established a Film and Publication Board and Review Board. The Board's function would be to receive complaints, or applications to evaluate, a film or publication, to classify it according to its suitability for different audiences.
