Three of Mzansi Magic’s flagship shows made a clean sweep at the 10th annual South African Film and Television Awards (SAFTAs), this weekend. The awards were held over two days (Friday and Sunday) 20 and 22 March, 2015 at Gallagher Estate in Johannesburg.
After scoring an impressive 10 nominations, Isibaya collected seven gongs, including the hotly contested ‘Best Soap’ award at the show, hosted in honour of the cream of the television crop.
Isibaya wins:
Best Wardrobe
Best Art direction
Best Cinematography
Best Editing
Best Scriptwriting
Best Directing
Best Soap
Many of the soap's stars showed up in their numbers and walked the red carpet on both nights and as can be expected, their SAFTA fashion was stunning.
