Question NW3870 to the Minister of Communications
15 December 2015 - NW3870
Van Dalen, Mr P to ask the Minister of Communications
(1) In respect of how many programmes has the SA Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) sold the rights to air to kykNET; ? (2) whether the affected actors have been receiving royalties from the specified SABC transaction; if not, why not; if so, when did they start receiving royalties?
Reply:
(1) Sixty-nine titles
(2) No. In most instances due to the age of the programmes and the commissioning regimes under which they were made no contractual provision was made for royalties to be paid to actors and as such no payments have been made.
