The Royalty Soapie Awards are back with a bang, bigger and better. Now you have a say deciding which actor wins.
We have reliably learned major industry soapies were not exactly pleased with the inaugural Royalty Soapie Awards (RSAs) after Isibaya deservedly cleaned almost all the award categories last year. Now it seems the RSAs want viewers to join in the judges in deciding who wins.
