In the wake of John Lennon's comments that The Beatles were "more popular than Jesus", the South African Broadcasting Corporation issued a band on The Beatles' records.
The apartheid regime in the country considered the comments to be anti-religious. The ban lasted for five years, until The Beatles had broken up.
In subsequent years Lennon's solo records remained banned by the corporation. Those by Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr were permitted, however.
