Angry SA teens plan mass kissing protest (WTF??)
Angry SA (South Africa) teens plan mass kissing protest

December 28 2007 at 12:11PM

By Zara Nicholson

Teenagers are planning to defy the government's ban on under-16 kissing, touching and rubbing up against each other in public, hatching a "kissing protest" on Facebook.

The new law, passed two weeks ago under the Sexual Offences Act, sparked a huge uproar on the popular website.

About five groups have been created, some of which have thousands of members.

The act, signed into law by President Thabo Mbeki two weeks ago, makes it illegal for teenagers to kiss, touch or rub up against each other in public.

Teenagers could be criminally charged if found guilty of infringing the law.
