Season 1

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.
