OH SCHUCKS: Schuster’s off Showmax

Leon Schuster movies deemed racially insensitive have been pulled off Multichoice’s streaming platform, Showmax.

You Must Be JokingYou Must Be Joking TooOh Schucks…It’s Schuster, Sweet ‘n ShortSchuks! Pay Back the Money, and Frank and Fearless have been removed. As too have been Mr Bones(which also stars Zimbabwe’s Tongayi Chirisa) and its sequel.

The move comes as the growing Black Lives Matter has forced content spaces worldwide to review their offerings.

Schuster himself admitted that the use of blackface in his content was racist and that he would never do it again.

The 69 year-old actor expressed ‘shock’ at the decision stating that the content did not harm anyone.

Netwerk24 first reported about Showmax’s removal of Leon Schuster’s films on Friday.
