The red carpet was rolled out at the sixth annual Royalty Soapie Awards on Saturday night at The Galleria in Kramerville.
Mzansi's A-listers came dressed to the nines and rubbed shoulders at the soirée where they were being celebrated.
Founder and CEO Winnie Ntshaba said the awards celebrated the talent behind the soapie industry.
“We are proud to celebrate the diverse calibre of nominations from across the continent. Our strategic collaboration with South African Tourism is significant as it buoys our local talent and elevates them on the international stage. The soapies are filmed locally showcasing South Africa’s beautiful landscapes, infrastructure, and talent.
“The sixth-year milestone has been a fantastic journey, a dream coming to fruition. As an actress, I am super excited about a new relationship that will bring inclusion of the Pan African Actors - a platform where we celebrate the hard work of individuals behind the soapie industry across Africa,” Ntshaba said.
