Skeem Saam and Muvhango boycott the Saftas for the second time
It’s that time of the year again when Mzansi’s television stars get to shine and be recognised for their excellence. The 11th instalment of the South African Film and Television Awards (Saftas) is scheduled to take place next month at Sun City in the North West. The nominees were announced today at the Forum in Bryanston, north of Joburg. Actress Nambitha Mpumlwana was at the helm as host for the morning. As expected, there were many surprises and disappoints, Skeem Saam and Muvhango boycotted the awards, as they didn’t submit their work for consideration.
