This week, our opinion series on South Africa’s film industry continues with Part Two, a deeper look at how the screen economy is funded.

Grants can nurture a story, but scaling it into a commercial production takes far more capital than the public purse can provide.

With a stalled rebate system, a R700 million backlog and pipeline requests above R1.2 billion, the case for structural reform and private sector investment has never been stronger.

Written by Tymicah Naidoo.

The Opportunity

When public funding steps back, private capital gets a clearer view of the opportunity.

Tymicah Naidoo closes her opinion piece with a question every investor in the creative economy should be asking: who backs South African stories when the state no longer anchors the industry? Bridge finance, development slate funds, gap finance and streamer co-financing all come into focus.

“The next generation of South African films may depend less on Pretoria and more on investors willing to price delay, and to back stories before anyone else will.”

R338 million this year. R166.3 million the next.

South Africa’s film funding story is one of sharp swings, and the detail sits well below the headline figure. In her latest opinion piece, our analyst Tymicah Naidoo examines what a halving of NFVF transfers means for emerging filmmakers, from development slates to first features.

“The 2026/27 figure is a sugar rush.”

South Africa’s film industry is heading into a funding squeeze, and few are talking about what comes next.

Our analyst, Tymicah Naidoo, has written a sharp opinion piece on the state of funding in the specialised film industry. It looks at what happens to local filmmakers when state support thins out, and where private capital could step in.

“That ladder is losing rungs.”

Altvest Credit Opportunities Fund Impact Series: More Than a Founder - Natasha Liddiard on Why SME Funding Matters - Part 4

ACOF Financial Skills Week
Debt Management

The right debt helps a business grow. The wrong repayment quietly drains it.

Borrowing can give a business room to grow, but every repayment has to fit the cash coming in. The real test is not what the business can afford in a strong month, but what it can afford in a slow one.
The latest OECD South Africa data show that 5.09% of SME loans, roughly 1 in 20, were reported as non-performing in 2024.
The fix: before you borrow, test whether your income can comfortably cover each repayment in your slowest month, with room to spare.

At ACOF, we know funding needs to make sense for your business and its plans. Reach out to us or visit www.acof.co.za to discuss funding for your business.

Up next: Day 3 - Financial Record Keeping, and how clear records can support funding conversations.

Source: OECD, Financing SMEs and Entrepreneurs 2026: South Africa, Table 40.1. This is the share of SME loans reported as non-performing; it does not show why they became non-performing.
