The 13th annual South African Film and Television Awards (SAFTA) will once again celebrate excellence in our local TV and film industry.
From presenting to acting, directing, writing and so far wide as sound and editing, the awards are Mzansi’s premier celebration of big and small screen art.
The 92-category nominees for this year’s awards were revealed in Johabnnesburg this past week with the announcement ceremony being hosted by acting legend, Thapelo Mokoena.
