Saga writes open letters to department to intervene in actors’ plight [VIDEO]

In the letters, Saga states that actors are offered contracts that favour the commercial interests of broadcasters and producers.

The South African Guild of Actors has written two open letters to the ministers in the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture and The Department of Employment and Labour.

Another assertion in the letters is that the cultural and creative industry is an unregulated sector, which “renders freelancers, particularly previously disadvantaged persons, vulnerable to unethical and abusive labour practices”.

“We cannot ask people to put their freelance contracts at risk by going into breach of contract to go on a tool down or any other form of industrial action.” “Let’s be clear, the president does not wish to sign the Bills and that’s why he’s referred them to the Constitutional Court because he feels that the Bills violate certain constitutional principles,” said Devnarain.
