The 13th edition of the South African Film and Television Awards(SAFTAs) took place on 2 March 2019 at the Sun City Superbowl. Take a look at some of our favourite red carpet looks below and some of the big winners that walked away with the coveted golden horn. Congratulations to all the winners, especially 1Magic's Telenovela, 'The River' for scooping eleven golden horns, including 'Best Telenovela' award. And a special shout out to a bona fide and world-class actress, Moshidi Motshegwa on scooping the ‘Best Actress’ award for her role as Malefu in the ‘The River’. Here is a snippet of her moving acceptance speech:
“...to every black mother in the township who ever raised that kid on hope and prayer. I am a product of hope and prayer...”. I was absolutely moved by Moshidi Motshegwa’s speech. I felt every word. What a well deserved win. What an artist 👏🏾 #SAFTAs13 pic.twitter.com/4jdP23BFWp
