Michael Mol and Hlomla Dandala will be the hosts of the Royalty Soapie Awards which has now been moved to the new date of 8 March 2014 at the Durban International Convention Centre in Durban.
The Royalty Soapie Awards will likely be broadcast on SABC1 but it's not yet clear whether it will be a live broadcast or be shown at a later date.
The Royalty Soapie Awards - not representative of South African TV soap opera industry since broadcasters such as M-Net and e.tv are not allowing some of their soaps to be voted for - caught flack from the TV industry for the way it's organised, for judges being kept secret, and broadcasters saying they don't know and have not been told how the judging works.
The list of soaps in the category for Most Popular Soap which viewers vote for, excludes certain TV soap which makes it a hollow, credibility-less victory for whichever soap wins.
The new awards show production has also already seen its fair share of drama behind the scenes.
