2012 South African Film and Television Awards (SAFTAs) - winners


The National Film and Video Foundation of South Africa (NFVF) presented the 6th Annual South African Film and Television Awards (SAFTAs, also known as the Golden Horns) over the last two nights at Gallagher Estate in Midrand. Friday saw the presentation of the non-fiction categories and Saturday featured the fiction winners.

The film Black Butterflies led the film side with six wins including Best Feature Film which came with a prize of R50 000. The Dutch/German/South African co-production about the poet Ingrid Jonker also won for Cinematography, Production Design, Music, Costume Design and Make-Up/Hair. It had led the field with nine nominations.

Unfortunately, its star Carice van Houten was not eligible for Best Actress because she is Dutch and not South African. As there were only one other actress submitted for consideration, the NFVF chose not to have a Best Actress category this year. They wrote, "This is a far from desirable situation, and the panel urge writers and production companies to bear in mind that as an industry we need be telling more stories that provide a platform for the luminous female thespian talent our country has to offer."

Skoonheid was the only other multiple winner. Oliver Hermanus picked up Best Director while its star Dean Lotz claimed Best Actor.

The supporting acting honours went to Patrick Mofokeng for Master Harold and the Boys and Desire Gardner for Roepman.

For television, the show Intersexions dominated with eleven wins from its 23 nominations. Its wins included Best TV Drama Series, Best Director (Rolie Nikiwe), Best Actor (Siyabonga Radebe) and Best Actress (Lungelo Dladla).
