The Writers Guild of South Africa (WGSA) has announced the nominees for the third annual WGSA Muse Awards. Performance writers in film, television, radio, stage, and new media will gather at the Soweto Theatre on 2 April 2016 to recognise and celebrate the integral role played by their peers in the South African entertainment industry.
