Sabag Slams Bakwena Productions For Alleged Financial Fumbles Amid Telenovela Launch

The announcement that Bakwena Productions will produce the SABC's new telenovela 'Pimville' has intensified the ongoing conflict between the production company and the South African Background Actors Guild SABAG.

The series is set to replace the long-running 'Muvhango', but the move has raised significant concerns regarding the production house's past professional conduct.

The SABAG chairperson, Louis Setabole, expressed his disappointment in an open letter to the SABC. He criticised their collaboration with Bakwena Productions, citing the production company's alleged history of ' questionable business practices '.

Setabole's letter highlighted mounting frustrations, particularly their alleged failure to meet financial obligations towards cast and crew .

'Our concerns arise from Bakwena Productions history of questionable business practices, particularly their failure to fulfil financial obligations to cast, crew and background actors,' read the letter posted on Facebook.
