“While we are encouraged by the progress made over the past few years, we are however deeply concerned and recognise that there is still more work to be done,” said Zanele Mthembu, Acting Programme Manager. “The success of the measures introduced by SWIFT depends on all funders, broadcasters, platforms and other key stakeholders committing to partnering with us to ensure a safe and respectful workplace for all, as a demonstration of their duty of care for all working on their production. We call on producers, funding bodies, and all industry gatekeepers to prioritise safety with actionable commitments by attaching the Code of Good Practice to every production and book a Safety Contact Officer Workshop.”
