Nolo shared in part; “In an industry that’s full of uncertainty and injustice; we have been blessed to work on a production that knows and understands Artists’ rights and needs. Thank you #BakwenaProductions #KagisoModupe #LosingLerato for paying royalties to all Actors and Crew. You ARE the change we want to see in this industry.”
This comes in the midst of actors calling on the government to amend the existing Performers Protection Act. The South African Guild for Actors is calling for the bill which dates back to 1967, to be changed as it currently fails to protect performer’s rights.
