Johannesburg - There’s a very good chance that SABC2 soapie 7de Laan may not air from Monday 24 October.
Tvplus has heard from multiple sources that the upcoming new season of 7de Laan will possibly not air on Monday 24 October, when it is scheduled to kick off, due to the SABC not yet finalising their new contract with Danie Odendaal Productions, the production company that makes 7de Laan.
Employees at 7de Laan, including the cast and crew, were issued a memo on Thursday, 20 October, which tvplus is in possession of, to explain the situation and were asked to move important debit orders because it is highly possible that they will not receive their salary this month.
According to the leaked document (see below), "at this point it is anyone's guess at to when (today, tomorrow, next week...) when we will receive the contract and when we will receive first payment..."
