It’s a new year and that means another year of awards and glam on both the local front and the international arenas as musicians, actors and sportsmen prepare to be honoured for their achievements in their respective fields over the past year.

With that said the SAFTAS are almost upon us and this year they will celebrating their 10-year anniversary in the industry complete with a new look and new theme: Imagine.

The awards will be held on the 18 and 20 March in honour of outstanding talent within the local television industry. The beautiful Minnie Dlamini, and the equally dashing Katlego Maboe will host this year’s event.
