The South African Film and Television (SAFTA) Awards is an annual South African awards ceremony which honours, celebrates and promotes the talent and accomplishments of the South African film and television industries in the past year.
The inaugural SAFTA Awards were announced in September 2006 by the National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF) and were broadcast in a TV special on SABC2 on Saturday 28 October, 2006. The broadcast moved to SABC3 from Season 6 and was repeated on TopTV's Top One channel and on DStv's Mzansi Magic channel from Season 7.
See "Seasons" below for seasonal broadcast dates and times.
The 4th Annual SAFTA Awards took place at the State Theatre in Pretoria on Saturday 20 February, 2010, with the live transmission at 20h00 on SABC2. The event was hosted by comedian John Vlismas.
4th Annual SAFTA Awards
The nominees for the 4th annual South African Film and Television Awards were announced at an event held at Johannesburg’s Atlas Studios on 18 November, 2009.
This year the SAFTA committee received 221 entries, which went through a process of filtration and then the final judging phase.
The judges are industry professionals who are recognised in the fields of television and film (although film and television industry experts who publish predominantly on the Internet are not asked to be judges).
The judging process was overseen by two chairpersons Paul Raleigh and Coco Cachalia, with PriceWaterhouse Coopers as the judging auditors.
The nominations were announced in the categories of feature film, documentary, student and short film, drama, comedy, soapies, reality, game shows, wildlife, magazine, talk shows, actuality, animation, variety, sports and music shows.
There are two major awards that the public can get involved in: the nominations for the Lifetime Achievement category, which recognises outstanding achievers (entries close on December 31, 2009); and the Best Soapie award entries (which open in the 2010).
The SAFTAS will take place at an event at the Pretoria State Theatre on Saturday 20 February, 2010. The awards will be broadcast live on SABC2, from 20h00.
The objective of the SAFTAS is to celebrate excellence with regard to talent and creativity in the South African film and television industry. The SAFTAS 2010 will take on the theme of National Identity.

About the Awards
In 2005 representatives of the South African Film and Television industry resolved to come together under the auspices of the National Film and Video Foundation of South Africa (NFVF) to establish the annual South African Film and Television Awards, the SAFTA Awards (SAFTAs).
The primary objective of the SAFTA Awards is to honour, celebrate and promote the creativity, quality and excellence of South African Film and Television talent and productions, and to encourage entrepreneurship and the development of new talent within the industry.
Members of the SAFTA committee comprise of representatives from NFVF, SABC, ETV, Mnet, Sterkinekor, Nu-Metro, South African Screen Federation, the IPO and Black Filmmakers Network.
The NFVF is a statutory body mandated by a progressive act of Parliament to spearhead the equitable growth and development of the South African film and video industry.
The NFVF is guided by a council of 12 members, comprising highly respected film professionals with diverse expertise in the film and television industry.
The Golden Horn Trophy
The winner's trophy is called the Golden Horn, and looks like this:
This trophy is designed to reflect the contribution of our creative and artistic talent and to strengthen aligned human capital of the South cinema and television arena.
It aims to reflect the African values of our country, create a benchmark for the recognition of quality, support the development of the cultural body of knowledge of our country and help stimulate interest and demand in South African product to bolster commercial viability and aid socio-economic growth.
The creative concept of this award is built on the strength of the collective effort and community that is inherent to South Africa.
International awards tend to award the individual only, but it is the intent of this award to celebrate the individual’s effort in the context of the collective. The director or any other practitioner singled out for excellence can only do so through the support of the team he works with.
The faces on the statues are derived from clay statues found near Lydenburg, referred to as the Lydenburg Heads. These artifacts of African heritage are dated to 800 AD and are regarded to refer to the artistic excellence of ancient African civilizations.
The Lydenburg Heads specifically represent visual creative arts, performance and drama. The use of the three figures describes the collective energy of the team and the recognition of the individual as part of the team.
The three figures on the trophy are found on objects that recognize the stature of venerated members of African communities, those who are regarded as leaders in their fields. These objects are designed as objects of recognition and of value.
The reference to “ The Horn”, refers to the wealth aspect of cattle and the source of wealth itself.
