Cast your vote for this year's Saftas

It's awards season and the eagerly anticipated South African Film and Television Awards (Saftas) nominations were announced on 14 July across all its digital platforms.

The 16th edition of the ceremony highlights the theme “Frame the Future”, an appeal for the industry to craft a new path forward.

Saftas this year will be a virtual extravaganza, where the Craft Awards will be broadcast on 2 September on YouTube and the Main Awards ceremony will take place on 3 September 2022 as a simulcast on S3 and Mzansi Magic. In keeping with the theme “Frame the Future” the format of the production will be in a virtual format in an even more engaging way than how Saftas was executed last year.
