on

Royalty Soapie Awards announced nominees for this year and the much-anticipated event will be taking place on 11 March 2023.

Speaking about the awards, Actress, founder and CEO of the awards, Winnie Ntshaba said:


“The Royalty Soapie Awards aims to make the cast and crew feel that their work is noticed and it is valued. It shows approval and gratitude for each person’s good job, and it makes people aware that good work will be rewarded. She adds.

“The sixth-year milestone has been a fantastic journey of seeing a dream coming to fruition. As an actress, I saw a need to create a platform where we celebrate the hard work of individuals and productions behind the soapie industry and the success it enjoys in the television industry currently.”
