The production has already garnered the support of the entertainment industry, including
Heart FM, Cape Town’s number one radio station.
Heart FM has joined forces with kykNET to launch
Suidooster, as the radio station supports the development of talent and the knock-on effect the production will create, which is in line with the company’s values. It is anticipated that the new series will contribute to creating more employment opportunities in the television and entertainment industry in South Africa.
The production, which features some of South Africa’s top acting talent in the form of Denise Newman, Johan Botha, Cedwyn Joel, Abduraghmaan Adams and Marcel van Heerden to name a few, has already created 65 new sustainable jobs, which includes 15 first-time actors.
On launch day,
Heart FM broadcasted the 09:00 to 12:00 show with Tracey Lange from the
Suidooster film studio in Montague Gardens, which created awareness around the production. All of the actors were present on the day and shared with Lange their journey; from the initial idea to produce a local soapie, to the excitement of going on air for the very first time.
