Mphumelelo Bhulose walked away with the Best Actor Award.
Sihle Ndaba walked away with Best Supporting Actress Award.
Also for those of you who might've forgotten, in 2012, Sihle Ndaba was one of the contenders of SA Idols season 8. She was also one of Randall's favourite contestants of that season. It's great to see that she's made impressive strides in her career after leaving SA Idols.
The feisty Khaya Dladla won the Best Supporting Actor Award.
Congratulations to the entire cast and crew! Your hard work has been rewarded, and deservingly so.
