15th Annual South African Film And Television Awards (SAFTAs) Nominations

South African Film and Television Awards

South African Film and Television Awards

The 15 annual South African Film and Television Awards (SAFTA's) nominations were announced last Thursday. Among the dominant series to gain nominations were Tshedza Picture's The River and their newest telenovela Legacy. Each series has 12 nominations. 

Not submitted for consideration were Mfundi Vundla's Generations: The Legacy, as well as Duma Ndlovu's Muvhango, as both producers are continuing their boycott of the SAFTA's due to what they see as the awards ceremony lacking integrity in the entire process. 

The SAFTA's have also decided to move from the broadcasting of the awards ceremony from SABC2 to SABC3. Plus, Anneke de Ridder will produce the broadcast that will air on Saturday, May 22, with a virtual half-hour “red carpet” broadcast and the 2-hour live broadcast that will that night.

Here is the full list of nominees:
