The Broadcasting Complaints Commission of SA (BCCSA) has dismissed a complaint that a joke by comedian Nik Rabinowitz was blasphemous, it said on Thursday.

“… The joke did not advocate hatred or constitute incitement to cause harm. In the result, the complaint is not upheld,” said BCCSA chairman Prof Jacobus van Rooyen.

In a broadcast over the Easter period on the Redi Tlhabi show on Talk Radio 702, Rabinowitz said “a pastor had a potato stuck up his backside and that it was not holy communion”.

This prompted two complaints.
