Some of the country's top actors and television producers will take to the streets, on Thursday, and march to the South African Broadcasting Commission (SABC).

They want the public broadcaster to address the many problems that have beset it including non-payment of millions of rand.

Those behind popular soap opera's like Generations, Isidingo and Muvhango will be part of the march calling for the SABC board to step down.

"They've never been open about the crisis that they in," remarked outraged actor Tony Kgoroge.

A coalition of unions including the Creative Workers Union of South Africa and the Young Communist League will be joining in.

"If they don't get paid it's not only them as producers that suffer in the process it’s a chain of other people that suffer," said the union’s Mabutho Sithole.

Those marching say the broadcaster has continually missed payments and not fulfilled contractual obligations.
