DStv’s biggest night, the DStv Mzansi Viewer’s Choice Awards (DMVCA) which celebrates the best in television, movies, music and media personalities in South Africa occurred on Saturday evening on the back of a two-year hiatus due to Covid-19.

The break-out star of Showmax The Wife, Kwenzo Ngcobo (Nqoba) was voted Favourite Rising Star.

Connie Ferguson walked away with Favourite Personality and dedicated her award to her late husband Shona Ferguson.

Sannah Mchunu’s comic timing and display of sheer emotion on-screen, while shaking up the trends on social media has undeniably made her one of Mzansi’s most loved actresses and this saw her emerge the DMVCA favourite actress.

The DMVCAs seek to honour the top achievers who have made their mark over the past two years in television, radio, music, sports and comedy.

The entire award show was voted by the public and voting closed on June 11, 2022.
