According to media reports, Isidingo stopped production the previous week due to contractual problems with the SABC. Production will only resume once a fully signed contract has been received. Viewers will still be able to watch the soapie as episodes of the current storyline have been shot.
City Press reports that all actors were told to stay at home until further notice. It also adds that Endemol SA is insisting that the SABC should pump more money into the soapie.
According to media reports Endemol CE Harrie Linders confirmed that production has stopped after the three-year contract with the SABC lapsed last week. Although negotiations started about nine months ago, the SABC still had not signed the new contract.
