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 6th Annual SAFTA Awards took place at Gallagher Estate in Johannesburg on Friday 9th and Saturday 10th March 2012, with a delayed transmission on SABC3 on Sunday 11 March, at 19h30.
6th Annual SAFTA Awards
The South African African Film and Television Awards returned to TV this year after last year's no show fiasco. The 2011 SAFTAs weren't broadcast after the event failed to secure a broadcaster in time.
SABC2 hosted the awards in previous years and pulled out of broadcasting them last year as a result of lack of finance and responsibility issues. At the time the channel said that they felt it wasn't SABC2's sole responsibility to air the event annually.
As a result the ceremony went unscreened while Mzansi Magic revealed that the channel was keen to take over the awards and to become their home for the future.
In the end SABC3 secured the contract to broadcast the main headline ceremony on Sunday, 11 March from 19h30 to 22h00.
As is custom, the awards took place over two nights - this year they were on Saturday and Sunday 10 and 11 March. The first event was the non-fiction ceremony - which didn't air - and the second was the headline fiction ceremony, which aired in a delayed broadcast.
The nominees for both ceremonies were revealed on Wednesday, 15 February. There was controversy when the SABC2 soapie 7de Laan was not named in the Best Soapie category and later on e.tv pulled out of the awards entirely, saying they were not satisfied with the judging process.

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.
