7de Laan production discontinued

Danie Odendaal Productions has discontinued the production of Afrikaans soapie 7de Laan as of 25 March 2020 in compliance with the countrywide lockdown announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa. The show is filmed two months ahead of time, meaning that 7de Laan has episodes in production until 25 May.

7de Laan publicist Kayleen Bessit said that they encourage all South Africans to comply with all restrictions set in place during the lockdown period. "While the uncertainty of what the future holds looms, we can only hope that by playing our part, our collective efforts will yield the desired outcome of containing the spread of the Coronavirus, and protecting those most vulnerable to this pandemic," Bessit said in a statement.
