The cell phone messaging service, MXit announced it would start taking a zero-tolerance attitude towards users who post offensive and sexually explicit material in their public forums.

MXit CEO, Herman Heunis says their 19-million plus users will now be protected from these unsavoury characters.

He says users posting obscene material in public chat rooms will now be banned from the service without warning, but added that this will not affect users’ rights to privacy when messaging one another.
