Uthando Nesthembu bags award nod

Following the season finale of Uthando Nesthembu, fans are unsure about whether their favourite polygamous family will return to their screens anytime soon.

The season came to an end as tensions were rising among the family members, with Musa Mseleku at the centre of all the chaos, and fans were convinced the family was breaking up right in front of their eyes.

As they hopefully mend their relationships away from the public eye, Twitter (X) user Jabu McDonald shared some good news to brighten everybody's day.

Taking to his timeline, the entertainment commentator revealed that the show was nominated at the Simon Sabela Awards for Best TV Production, for the stellar performances delivered in the eighth season:

"'Uthando Nesthembu' season 8 has been nominated for Best TV Production at the Simon Sabela Awards."
