Tati Mangi PNG Music video

Chief Censor: Maintain decency in music content

The body, under the Vision 2050, is responsible for regulating lyrics and production of music videos in the country.

Although no specific measures have been taken in this regard over the years, as the institution responsible, the Censorship Board, still has a hand in the music industry.

Therefore, the reminder was made following the controversial music video of local artist Tati Mangi PNG that had the country morally divided.

“We don’t want people to think we’re against musicians,” the Senior Censor, Steven Mala said.

Bootylicious banned from being broadcast

This has been imposed by the Minister for Religion, Youth & Community Development Delilah Gore.

The music video sparked a huge debate on social media early this month and was brought to the attention of the Censorship board of PNG.

But with no board in place, the music video was forwarded to the office of the minister for Religion, Youth & Community Development to make the decision.
