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 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.
1st Annual SAFTA Awards
The inaugural South African Film and Television Academy (SAFTA) Awards were announced in September 2006 by the National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF) and were broadcast in a TV special on Saturday 28 October.
The purpose of the awards is to honour, celebrate and promote the talent and accomplishments of the South film industry.
The inaugural award ceremony was held on Friday 27 and Saturday 28 October, 2006, at Gallagher Estate in Johannesburg.
The SAFTA executive committee is chaired by NFVF CEO Eddie Mbalo, and comprised of industry representatives Kamscilla Naidoo and John Cronwright (SABC), Ferdi Gazendam (Ster Kinekor), Debbie McCrum (Nu Metro), Bongiwe Selane (M-Net), Raymond Theart (PMA), Joel Phiri and Desiree Markgraaff (IPO), and Jackie Motsepe (NFVF).
Judging panels made up of representatives of industry organisations, institutions, companies and media selected nominees and eventual category awards winners.
The judging process was overseen and results were verified by independent auditors.
The nominees for the awards were revealed to the public and media at an exclusive function on 30 September.
Local broadcasters, filmmakers, producers, students and stakeholders in the local film and television industry submitted over 500 entries to SAFTA, which included feature films, short films, documentaries, television dramas, sitcoms, soapies, magazine, news and actuality, wildlife, children, variety and reality programmes.
Although most awards were judged by the chosen panel, audiences were able to vote for their favourite soapie via a phone-in and SMS competition.
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.

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.
