7de Laan wins ‘Best Soap’ award at Saftas (PHOTOS)

7de Laan proved once again to be the most loved soap in the country after winning the Best soap’ award at the Saftas for the third year in a row.

Although many were expecting new kid on the block Isibaya to walk away with the main award of the night, it was the Afrikaans drama’s fans who had the last say.

7de Laan also won the award in 2012 and 2013.

Isibaya did not walk away empty handed but managed to grab most of the awards it was nominated in, including the award for the ‘Best Writing Team TV Soap’.

Siyabonga Thwala took the Best Actor TV Soap award for his role as “Mpiyakhe Zungu” and Thembi Nyandeni’s role as “Mkabayi Zungu” won her the Best Actress TV soap.

Thwala also won the ‘Best Actor in a TV Drama’ gong for his role in Intersexions: Season 2.

Actress Tina Jaxa proved that she still has what it takes as she earned herself two awards for the night; Best Actress in a TV Drama and Best Supporting Actress in a Feature Film.

The ceremony which was held at the Gallagher Estate in Midrand was screened live on SABC 3.
