PRODUCTION HALTED

IOL reports that Danie Odendaal Productions suspended all normal 7de Laan operations with immediate effect this week due to insufficient funds.

The publication adds that the SABC had been struggling to make the necessary payment to the production timeously, which made it difficult to maintain the daily production requirements.

The cast and crew were informed in a letter that they were not required to be at the production studios until further notice.

“Please also be reminded that the principle of no work no pay applies as per the contractual terms and conditions.”
