What Didn’t Work in the Last Six Years • Sufficient funding for the Awards resulting in not achieving sufficient growth over the period • Challenges in talent retention as a result of the above. • The awards were based in KwaZulu-Natal for the last six years – thus “earning” a label as Regional or Zulu awards – in some quarters • The awards have not enjoyed the publicity they deserve on DAC Programmes and Material 1111
What Worked in the Last Six Years The main awards event was always held at KwaZulu-Natal thus getting very good support The awards were consistently held over the last six years and thus have proved their resilience The brand has grown and the awards have now become part of the national psyche The partnership with the SABC has been one of the pillars of this growth The SABC’s own AR and Share figures show that the SATMA Awards broadcast dominates the whole Television universe during the time slot The support from the Presidency and key national leadership including institutions 1212
