An incredible honour to have an address from four generations of @FIA_actors leadership!
A truly historic moment, and an endorsement of our ongoing fight for actor rights. @FerneDowney@agnetehaaland Tomas Bolme, with Gabrielle Carteris the incumbent.
@SAGActors applauds you ๐๐ฝ
Children under 15yrs old may work in the entertainment industry, only if the producer (employer) is issued a permit by @deptoflabour.
No permit = prohibited child labor.
Producers don't really care, they think they won't get caught.
@SAGActors will be seeing you soon ๐
#Childlabour is prohibited in SA, but kids under 15yrs may work in Film/TV, commercials, theatre, & radio ads IF the producer (employer) applies for a @deptoflabour permit.
But many producers don't bother with permits - a criminal offence.
@SAGActors will be visiting ๐
