Glasshouse is directed and co-written by Kelsey Egan. The feature film was set after an airborne dementia known as The Shred has left humanity roaming like lost and dangerous animals, unable to remember who they are.
Confined to their airtight glasshouse, a family does what they must to survive - until the sisters are seduced by a stranger who upsets the family's rituals, unearthing a past they have tried to bury.
3. 4 MURE' SOUTH AFRICA'S BEST DRAMA SERIES kykNET's 4 Mure won three SAFTAs: Best TV Drama; Makeup & Hairstyling (Minke Swart); and Wardrobe (Mariechen Vosloo).
Each 25-minute-long episode in the five-part anthology is set in the same hotel room, with the same housekeeper (Lida Botha), but with different stories, characters and genres.
4. THE WIFE' THE ZULU BROTHERS ARE OFFICIALLY THE BEST The first Showmax Original telenovela, The Wife took home Best Actor for Bonko Khoza as Mqhele and Supporting Actor to Abdul Khoza as Nqoba. This is Bonko's first SAFTA win and Abdul's second.

5. DEVILSDORP' THE BEST MADE FOR TV DOCUMENTARY IN SA True crime series Devilsdorp was named Best Made For TV Documentary at the SAFTAs.
In 2016, a spate of brutal Appointment Murders gripped the town of Krugersdorp, leaving sales people and consultants terrified to book meetings in case they were the serial killer's next victims. The investigation led detectives to a series of unsolved cold cases, the so-called Satanic Murders, and to links between 11 Krugersdorp killings between 2012 and 2016. They discovered these were the work of the Electus per Deus (Chosen by God) cult.
