New Pay Plan for Independent Producers

An urgent meeting was held this week between the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) interim board and frustrated independent television producers to discuss a new plan to pay producers.

The meeting come after the public broadcaster, which owes independent producers R60 million, failed to meet its first payment agreements in September. It was agreed at this week’s meeting that R10.8 million will be ring-fenced and used to pay producers owed under R200 000, who were hardest hit as they tended to be the smaller companies.

The series Generations is among the larger shows that have not been paid.
