The Royalty Soapie Awards were founded by former Generations and current House of Zwide actress Winnie Ntshaba. The RSA’s are the only industry awards dedicated solely to South African daily TV dramas. They’re a celebration of the nation’s “TV drama royalty,” acknowledging the vital role storytelling plays in our lives. The nominees represent the heart and soul of South African television – the actors, creatives, and technical teams who bring captivating stories to life on a daily basis.
“Reaching the 7th year of the RSA’s is a milestone,” said awards founder Ms. Winnie Ntshaba. “The nominee announcement always generates a buzz, and this year is no exception. We congratulate all nominees – your hard work and impact are seen!”
