After a highly anticipated delay, the South African Film and Television Awards (SAFTAs) are returning with a bang. The National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF) has officially announced the nominees for the 19th edition, celebrating the best in local storytelling.
Leading this year’s pack are the gripping telenovela iThonga and the hilarious comedy How to Ruin Love, securing top spots among a highly competitive field.
Key Highlights and Posthumous Honours
The 2026 nominations feature a blend of industry veterans and exciting new talent, with notable mentions including:
- Triple Noms: Bonko Khoza dominates with three nominations across different categories for his work in iThonga, Mabaso Family Reunion, and the film Heart of the Hunter.
- Double Noms: Industry icon Sello Maake ka-Ncube secured two nominations for Skeem Saam and Champions.
- Tributes: The awards will honour the late acting legends Michelle Botes (Tuiskoms) and Presley Chweneyagae (Cobrizi) with posthumous nominations.
Save the Date
The two-day celebration will recognize excellence in both craft and main categories:
- March 13 & 14, 2026
“It is fitting that the producers, directors, actors and all involved get the recognition they deserve and that they be celebrated for the great work they do in keeping important conversations ongoing,” said NFVF acting CEO Onke Dumeko.

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of your website?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or
two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

Hello friends, its great post about educationand entirely explained, keep it up all the time.
It is so rewarding to hear that the explanation hit the mark! Education can sometimes feel like a dense topic, so I’m thrilled I could break it down in a way that felt complete and easy to follow for you.
Entirely explained is the best feedback a writer can get—it means the bridge between the information and the reader is solid. I’ll definitely keep the momentum going and continue diving deep into these topics.

I like to write a little comment to support you.
I truly appreciate you taking the time to leave a note of support. It’s readers like you who make the research and writing process so rewarding. Knowing that you’re enjoying the posts keeps me motivated to keep the quality high and the ideas flowing
I am sure this article has touched all the internet users,
its really really fastidious paragraph on building up new weblog.
I’m thrilled to hear that the advice resonated with you and the wider internet community. Starting a new project can be a bit like navigating a maze, so if this paragraph acted as a bit of a GPS for you, then I’ve definitely hit my goal.
Thank you for the kind words; they’re the best fuel for my next post
This design is wicked! You definitely know how to keep a reader
entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Wonderful job.
I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented
it. Too cool!
“Wicked” is the exact vibe I was going for! I’m glad the design caught your eye, but I’m even happier that the wit and the videos kept you from hitting that “back” button.
Honestly, that “almost” moved to start a blog is how it begins for everyone! One day you’re just enjoying the presentation, and the next, you’re picking out your own hex codes and drafting your first post. If you ever decide to take that leap from “almost” to “active,” you know where to find me for some moral support.
Thanks for the “too cool” rating—it’s feedback like this that makes the hours spent editing videos and polishing the layout totally worth it.
Excellent weblog here! Additionally your site a lot up fast!
What web host are you using? Can I am getting your associate link in your host?
I want my web site loaded up as fast as yours lol
To be honest, a fast site isn’t just about the host—it’s a combination of a solid provider, a lightweight theme, and some aggressive caching. I actually use a specialized cloud hosting setup optimized for high performance, which is why it snappy even with high traffic.
I truly appreciate you asking for an affiliate link! While I don’t have one set up at this exact moment, I’m more than happy to point you in the right direction. If you’re looking for that “instant load” feel, I’d recommend looking into Managed Cloud Hosting or a Content Delivery Network (CDN) like Cloudflare to push your content to servers closer to your readers.
These are actually great ideas in about blogging. You have touched some good points here.
Any way keep up wrinting.
I really appreciate that! It’s one thing to write, but it’s another to know the points actually resonate with someone who’s in the trenches of blogging too.
There’s a lot of “noise” out there, so I try to stick to the strategies that actually move the needle. Knowing that these tips hit home for you is all the fuel I need to keep the keyboard clicking.
Thanks for the encouragement—I’m definitely not planning on slowing down anytime soon.
Your method of telling the whole thing in this
post is genuinely nice, every one be able to
without difficulty understand it, Thanks a lot.
That is the best feedback I could hope for! My goal is always to take the “complicated” and make it “conversational,” so knowing it was easy to follow means I’ve done my job.
There’s nothing worse than a post that feels like reading a textbook. I’m thrilled you found the flow natural and the information accessible. Thanks for taking the time to let me know—it definitely keeps me motivated to keep the clarity coming!
