Contribution to SA theatre, film, media and/or performance
In 1969, South African financial services group Sanlam bought 20th Century Fox's South African film business, renaming it Kinekor. At that point, Sanlam already owned Ster Films and Ster Theatres. The government permitted Sanlam to merge three three companies - Ster Films, Ster Theatres and Kinekor - which they subsequently did as Ster-Kinekor in 1970.
For more information, see Ster-Kinekor.
