This practice, sometimes referred to as blackface, was flagged as contentious.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the situation, Showmax removed six Schuster films, which included<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Sweet n Short<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Oh Schucks, It\u2019s Schuster<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>You Must Be Joking<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>You Must Be Joking Too<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Schucks\u2026 Pay Back The Money!<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Frank &amp; Fearless<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, MultiChoice prohibited <em>Mr Bones<\/em>, <em>Mr Bones 2: Back from the Past<\/em>, and <em>Mama Jack<\/em>. Upon reevaluation, only <em>Frank &amp; Fearless<\/em>, which is Schuster\u2019s 2018 comedy, was temporarily made available again.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Showmax stated that while the films were \u201cproducts of their time\u201d created with \u201cpositive intent,\u201d it needed to find a balance between user sensitivity and its purpose as a unifying platform.<\/p>\n<p>With the restrictions now lifted, viewers can once more enjoy Leon Schuster\u2019s earlier films through streaming services. MultiChoice has yet to provide details on what motivated this policy adjustment.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-you-a-fan-of-these-films-which-is-your-favourite\"><strong>Are you a fan of these films?
