The South African acting industry has recently been in the spotlight for challenging issues that actors are faced with. You might remember the open letter Vatiswa Ndara had written about issues ranging from contracts, working hours, sexual harassment and over-all ill-treatment by role players in the industry.

One of the actors that did leave was Winne Ntshaba who was popular for her role as Khethiwe Buthelezi – she is making strides in the industry and honoring the hard work actors put in through the Royalty Soapie awards.
