The popular soapie won the award as a TV show that continuously promotes “multilingualism and diversity of South African languages“.

Skeem Saam spokesperson‚ Percy Vilakazi said‚ “it is such an honour to receive this award. It is a prestigious award and as a TV program that promotes and campaigns for South African languages‚ we are so proud to have received it.”
