SAFTAs13 Judging process

The judging process is separated into two phases. The first phase of judging began in November 2018. A total of 250 SAFTAs judges are then grouped into boards based on skills. The judging process is then guided by the overall judging heads, South African singer, actress, and playwright Thembi Mtshali-Jones and producer Firdoze Bulbulia.

The panels further receive content submitted by numerous production houses in their selected categories. All content experiences an internal and external confirmation process. The confirmation processes safeguard that producers have entered their gratified content into correct categories and that every submission is effective in terms of the entry guidelines. This year, the appointed external auditors were OMA Chartered Accountants Inc. and they completed their first external verification process.
