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.
