WHAT IS THE ROYALTY SOAPIE AWARDS? The Royalty Soapie Awards which celebrate the excellent work that production companies put in behind-the-scenes and on the screen, were founded by former Generations and current House of Zwide actress Winnie Ntshaba. This year's prestigious awards are special as they mark a momentous sixth-year milestone celebration.
Ntshaba, who is the founder and CEO of the awards told Sunday World: We are proud to celebrate the diverse calibre of nominations from across the country. 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.
