The Royalty Soapie Awards took place on Wednesday evening at the Emperor’s Palace.
Since it’s inception, the awards were held in Johannesburg, and hosted by comedian Mpho Popps.
“We are very excited that we were able to bring the awards to Johannesburg. We hosted the awards successfully in the sunny City of Durban for 2 years and being able to bring the awards to the City of Gold has made the awards fully inclusive. We’re hoping to take the awards to a new city every 2 to 3 years to ensure we leave our footprint in different regions,” said CEO and founder, actress Winnie Ntshaba in a statement.
Isibaya walked away with four wins out of 20 nominations.
