HARASSMENT: ISIDINGO (soapie, sabc 3) ENDEMOL SA

The similarities are too much and found them to be too overwhelming. We have don’t know these people they’ve never been to our home, I don’t know where they know us from. I would like to know where they get their story from because it is about me, family and close friends.

The SABC make our lives unbearable and impossible by infringing on our rights to privacy and use our lives as entertainment and for personal gain.

I sent two complaints, in 1996 I sent a complaint to the writers from mantshegele@mighty.co.za email address. Sivan Pillay responded and said the story was not related to us and explained about disclaimers?

Another email was sent to the BCCSA in 2010 from fshoko@phdist.co.za email address. The query was handled by Shouneez Martin who forwarded it to the Isidingo team. A woman by the name of Karen Barnard responded, she sent back an email about how the story was coincidental, and said that they do internet searches before they write stories to see if there aren’t any similarities? She also said that because the soapie was created 10 years ago, she wanted to know why I was raising a complaint only now. 

I sent a compliant to BCCSA and a lady by the name of Shouneez Martin refused to forward the complaint because she was told not to forward any complaints to the producers of the soapies. The SAPS and IPID (formerly ICD) refuse to help us and I cannot find a lawyer. 

I am well aware this revolves around me and wish that these would refrain from using our lives as entertainment. The producers of Isidingo do not care how this is affecting our lives and the psychological impact of what they are doing to us. This harassment and complete disregard of my complaint is damaging to us and to the people around us. Do they think people wouldn’t know what they are doing to us, that we are stupid and that nothing will be done about this?

Our physical address House no “2019” is being used as a plan to promote the elections for a political organization? I want this to stop harassment to stop, this is our private lives and it’s not meant for entertainment.

The similarities are the following:
