Censorship and Entertainment Control Act, 1967
The Censorship and Entertainments Control Act 1967 is an Act of Parliament in Zimbabwe. Introduced under Ian Smith's largely unrecognised Rhodesian government, the target of the legislation has traditionally been obscenity and blasphemy in literature and film. This focus on crude or otherwise indecent material was continued into the 1990s.
