If you watch the South African-backed Nigerian hit soap Tinsel, you probably also watch Jacob's Cross and if you do then chances are you also watch Isidingo a local prime time must watch on SA's soapy menu. Well, at the time of this report, the set of Isidingo was ablaze - for real!
The SPY has just gathered that Henley Studios where Isidingo is filmed caught fire overnight. Reports say the blaze started in studio six at around 8pm and fire fighters were unable to bring it under control. A spokesperson for the producers SABC said the fire may have originated in the Isidingo production studios causing significant damage. There have been no reports of injuries and we understand that the incident will not affect normal programming.
Isidingo is nowhere near Tinsel and Jacob's Cross on my list of favourite soapies but I do feel sorry for them for the loss of equipment since there's been no injuries.
