The South African Film and Television Awards (often referred as the SAFTAs or Golden Horns) is an annual South African awards ceremony hosted by the National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF), to honor creative excellence in the local film and television industry as assessed by the volunteer judges. The various category winners are awarded a statuette, officially called the Golden Horn, and a certificate. Only South African citizens are eligible for the awards, first presented in 2006.

Among the biggest winners of the 2023 Awards were the Netflix drama Silverton Siege, which was the most-awarded film taking home six awards, the Netflix comedy series, How to Ruin Christmas with five awards, and Gaia, a horror film, that won four out of its nine nominations.
