Many viewers felt the programme crossed the line
The producers of a popular television soap in Angola have apologised after an episode which showed a gay couple kissing caused outrage among viewers.
State television said it had suspended broadcasts of Jikulumessu for "technical reasons".
Many viewers felt the programme went too far by showing two men kissing, although homosexual acts are not illegal in Angola, correspondents say.
The programme was produced by a firm owned by the president's son.
Jose Eduardo Paulino dos Santos, a leading artist better known by his stage name Coreon Du, has often been accused of promoting homosexuality in Angola, where many people hold conservative religious and social values.
His firm, Semba Productions, said it was reviewing the programme and it apologised for any offense caused.
Jikulumessu was shown daily on prime-time television until broadcasts were suspended on Monday night.
It was the second Angolan soap to feature gays and lesbians but until last week the gay actors, unlike their heterosexual colleagues, had never kissed.
