SABC2 has announced that it is inviting submissions from local producers for 12 new productions for the channel, ranging from talk shows and sitcoms to documentaries and a family game show. The briefs reflect a commitment to the industry to the tune of more than R38-million.

Acting SABC2 general manager, Aletta Alberts, says, “Although drama will remain the mainstay of our output, we’re diversifying our programme mix to increase delivery on our public service obligations. We’re also increasing our factual output with the creation of a talk show, lifestyle documentaries as well as a history and biography documentary strand.”
