The cast and crew of Mzansi Magic’s favourite
telenovelas are happy to be back at work, following the revision of the
nationwide lockdown to Level Four, last week. Government has published
regulations that have seen several sectors, including the film and television
industry, being allowed to return to work under strict health guidelines.
Shooting of new episodes has resumed for
hit telenovelas such as The River,
Isibaya, The Queen and Gomora.
“While the R80 million fund MultiChoice
Group established has ensured that the cast and crew continued to receive their
salaries throughout the start of the lockdown period in March and April, we are
thrilled that they have been able to return to work this week,” says M-Net CEO
Nkateko Mabaso. “At this stage, the safety of crew and cast remains a priority
and we are in constant communication with production houses, as per the
government’s directive, to ensure that stringent health guidelines are in place
and are being adhered to.”
