The SABC has requested to appear before the Portfolio Committee on Communications and Digital Technologies, to account for issues of non-payments of its productions, after complaints arose regarding the Bakwena Productions "Pimville".
SABC 2’s latest flagship telenovela, "Pimville", has been marred by a production crisis as reports of non-payment to cast and crew surfaced.
The SABC issued a statement on Monday, announcing that it had formally cancelled the show.
The public broadcaster explained that following a thorough review process and careful consideration, "Pimville" will be discontinued from Monday night, due to unresolved contractual obligations and breaches identified and communicated formally to Bakwena Productions.
