Skeem Saam has become one of the most watched Soapies in Mzansi, period! Every night the stories told by the creative team of writers combined with the excellent delivery by the actors are truly exceptional.

It looks like the South African Film and Television Awards agree. Skeem Saam has been honoured with 5 nominations this year.

Fans of the show will be very happy to know that some of their favourite actors have received the nod, and they deserve it.

And the nominees are

Best actor in a TV soapie
1. Putla Sehlapelo who plays your favourite Meneer Alfred Magongwa, received a nod for the Best Actor in a TV Soapie. He goes against who plays Bonang on Scandal.

2. Best Actress in a TV Soapie
This one goes to none other than, Mrs Maputla. Shoki Mmola go the nod for playing the scheming Celia on the Soapie. She goes against Manama Ranaka who plays Lucy Diale on Generations The Legacy as one of the nominees in the same category.

3. Best Supporting Actor in a TV Soapie
Sergeant Peterson takes this nomination on Skeem Saam. Mortimer Williams deserves this nomination for his charismatic performance and comedic timing against Lehasa played by Cedric Fourie. It wouldn’t be Skeem Saam without him.
