Things are looking up for the cast and crew of Afrikaans soapie 7de Laan.
The show recently made headlines when production was halted, leaving the creatives frustrated.
However, in a turn of events, Danie Odendaal has announced that production is set to resume on Thursday.
"After further engagement with the SABC regarding outstanding payments, Danie Odendaal Productions is pleased to announce that although the full amount owed has not yet been settled, there are now sufficient funds to resume production. We confirm that production will recommence on Thursday, September 7. The cast and crew are committed to delivering the high-quality content our fans and viewers deserve," read a statement from Odendaal.
On Monday, the staff and crew reportedly received a letter from Danie Odendaal Productions stating operations had been suspended.
Those behind 7de Laan told TshisaLIVE the pause in production was due to payment delays by the SABC.
“It is important to note that SABC, while facing financial difficulties, has made payments, albeit inconsistently and slowly. We are pleased to confirm that the June invoice, which had been pending, was paid in full on September 1.
“We remain hopeful for a resolution with SABC which will allow us to resume production in the near future. We appreciate the understanding and support of our viewers, staff, and stakeholders during this temporary pause.”
