It was followed later the year by Afterlife of the Party for Netflix / Dae Lights Media. It was the first International project to go into production after the lockdown. Advantage and the international service industry got the approval from the President’s Office, after extensive lobbying by the IPO and other sectors of the industry, Vlokkie’s comprehensive COVID Protocol plan provided the comfort that the SA Government needed in order to give the industry the green light.
