Kenya’s Film Classification Board has forced Coca-Cola to scrap a kissing scene in a television advert because it “violated family values”.
In the three-second scene two strangers have a passionate embrace in a library.
The head of the film board Ezekiel Mutua said Coca-Cola has agreed to release a new version of the commercial without the scene yesterday night.
The film board warned advertisers to consider if children would be watching at the time the advert is aired.
