Unlike in the United States, the way actors in South Africa are treated borders on exploitation.

among others — the syndication phase has translated into enormous wealth for the key players who get paid residuals for as long as the show is aired.

Nevertheless, the movie has remained popular and has become a permanent feature of the annual Youth Day celebrations in South Africa. For its actors, the annual revival ofcomes with the annual reflection of how broken the financial arrangements are for the local industry. Every time the movie is re-screened in the country, it evokes memories of historic injustices, while perpetuating an ongoing injustice against those who receive no residuals from the re-running of the movie.

Although most traditional employees can participate in systems that help them between jobs — the Unemployment Insurance Fund in particular — actors do not readily participate in such schemes either because they are unaware of them or because they cannot contribute consistently when the basis for contribution — an income — is so inconsistent.

Such a market failure — that leaves the key players bordering on exploitation — invites lawmakers and regulators to intervene. Attempts to usher in reforms in the industry have become gridlocked in legislative chaos that has resulted in one instrument in particular — the Performers Protection Amendment Bill — remaining in limbo.

But because viewers have many entertainment options — where each viewer is within touching distance of a cell phone, a computer and a TV set — and by extension the various options on offer, it has become a bit more difficult to figure out what viewers will choose first. Such a diversity of options has become even more acute during the pandemic. The lockdowns have resulted in people watching old content mainly because the lockdowns have affected the ability to produce new shows.
