This weekend, South African celebrities stepped up at the 18th annual South African Film and Television Awards (SAFTAs). The event which happened over two nights at Gallagher Estate in Midrand, Johannesburg saw stars come out dressed to kill.
THE BIG WINNERS
Shaka iLembe predictably walked off with 12 awards while Amazon Prime Video received seven trophies, five of which were for The Fragile King. The SABC won 12 categories for various content on the South African public broadcaster. eMedia's e.tv won just four categories, although it included a second consecutive year's win for Ochre Media's Scandal! in the most popular soap category, which is a public vote. Moja Love TV was not nominated in any of the categories.
