ISIDINGO'S Robert Whitehead, popularly known as Baker Haines in the daily drama series, certainly gives local television audiences something to look forward to.

But South African audiences are not the only people that have succumbed to the spell and charm of this talented actor.

Zambian audiences took to him in a big ways at the recent annual Ngoma awards in that country, according to reports from Zambia.

Baker was at the annual Ngoma awards at the Edingburgh Hotel in Kitwe, Zambia, when he took part in a traditional dance led by the Ameyenge band.

He apparently became an instant hit the moment he went on stage, according to witnesses at the event. This means Isidingo's appeal goes beyond the borders of South Africa.
