South Africa will once again judge categories for the International Emmy Awards and in the 2012 International Emmy Awards the Academy of International Television Arts and Sciences made South Africa responsible for the English Speaking Animation, as well as the English Speaking Documentary categories.

The South Africans who will be judging these categories are now known.

In the category for English Speaking Animation for the 2012 International Emmys, the judges will be: Stuart Forrest, Paul Meyer, Anthony Silverston, Bruce Legg, Daniel Snaddon, Wayne Thornley, Carolyn Carew, Roberta Durrant and Denis Lillie.
