FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LIMPOPO FILMMAKERS SPEAK OUT: WE DESERVE LEADERSHIP THAT LISTENS
The Limpopo Filmmakers Collective is raising its voice not out of anger, but from a place of deep commitment to our craft, our province, and the creative community that continues to push forward against all odds.
For years, filmmakers in Limpopo have created work with limited support, relying on passion, sacrifice, and resilience. Yet many feel unheard and overlooked in decisions that shape the direction of our sector. These challenges impact more than just our careers they affect our homes, our families, and the dreams we carry.
Why We Are Submitting a Motion of No Confidence
The purpose of this motion is not to attack individuals, but to address a system that is no longer serving the broader creative community.
Our call is simple:
We want leadership that communicates, instead of leaving artists in the dark.
We want leadership that includes filmmakers in decisions affecting our future.
We want leadership that is transparent, fair, accountable, and free of favouritism.
We want a sector where opportunities reach all creatives emerging and established not just a selected few.
This motion is a step toward rebuilding trust and reshaping how the Limpopo film sector operates. It is a push for systems that uplift the entire industry, not just pockets of it. This is not division it is responsibility. It is hope.

We are filmmakers, students, parents, breadwinners, dreamers.
We carry the stories of Limpopo, and today, we are choosing to rewrite our own story one built on fairness, transparency, and a future where every creator feels seen and supported.
This moment is bigger than any individual.
We are standing together because Limpopo deserves better.
And together, we will build it.
