During the apartheid era in South Africa from the time of the inception of the censor board in 1933, media was strictly controlled. Anything that the then government felt to be "offensive to a certain section of the public" or "offensive to public morals" - newspapers, books, music, magazines, movies etc - was banned.
Oh yes, television and horrible books like Black Beauty were banned too.
