About The South African Guild of Actors SAGA is a non-profit organisation (NPO number 119-128 NPO) constituted on 23 July 2009 and Public Benefit Organisation (PBO No: 930041853). SAGA’s mandate is to represent and protect the legal and economic rights of professional actors in the film, television, stage, commercial and corporate entertainment sectors. SAGA was elected as a member of the International Actors Federation in 2012, alongside Actors’ Guilds and Unions from 68 countries around the world including Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists in the United States of America, Canada’s Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists and Equity which is the UK trade union for creative practitioners.

General Remarks The President has raised issues and concerns with regards to both the CAB and PPAB despite the matter having been robustly considered by both the National Assembly and the National Council of Provinces. Both Bills then remained unsigned by the President for over a year, after being passed by the democratically elected legislature. The President states in his letter to the National Assembly that he has received further submissions and communications directly.

  • Nelson Mandela Y El Apartheid
    Invictus 1 INVICTUS Nelson Mandela y el apartheid Por Tomás Valero Martínez 1. EL APARTHEID l apartheid1 nació oficialmente en 1944 como un sistema de segregación racial que desposeía a los ciudadanos de raza negra de todos sus derechos civiles y E sociales. Su área de influencia se extendía por Rodhesia y la República de Sudáfrica. La creación de reservas territoriales o bantustanes2 permitió al hombre blanco ejercer impunemente la supremacía racial sobre la población africana, en orden a una legislación arbitraria, que comprendía, entre algunos de sus principios (además del despliegue sistemático de la represión), el monopolio del conocimiento y de la información, pilares sobre los que descansa el control del poder3. Tras un sinfín de condenas internacionales, embargos y sanciones, además de la intervención del Ejército y de las negociaciones del presidente Frédérik De Klerk con los representantes de las comunidades étnicas del país, el apartheid tocó a su fin en 1991, momento en que se 1 El término apartheid procede del bóer, y significa “separación”. El término bóer o “granjero” (en su traducción al español) designaba, en origen, a los primeros colonos calvinistas holandeses, que llegaron a Sudáfrica en 1652, y fundaron Ciudad del Cabo. Por extensión, se denomina bóers a los blancos sudafricanos que hablan una lengua derivada del holandés, el afrikaans. Los bóers lucharon contra los británicos entre 1899 y 1902, hasta conseguir el Acta de la Unión de Sudáfrica, que los hacía independientes de Gran Bretaña. 2 Se denominan bantustanes aquellas reservas destinadas a negros o bantúes, una de las subdivisiones étnicas a las que, junto con la de mestizos, condenó el apartheid a la marginalidad.
