Doig was not in attendance on the night, and the awards were accepted by the series director of Real Housewives of Durban.
The popular reality TV show 'Real Housewives of Durban' won two awards on Saturday night at the Simon Mahube Sabela KZN Film and TV Awards.
The show won the Best TV Production and Best Use of Cinematography awards, with the latter going to Lee Thomas Doig for his work on the fourth season.
Doig was not in attendance on the night, and the awards were accepted by the series director of Real Housewives of Durban, Boitumelo Modise.
'Thank you for loving the show so much, showing so much support…for watching it, every episode that comes out,' said Modise, thanking the province.
The wins are for the fourth season of the reality TV show.
The 12th edition of the awards was held at the Durban ICC on Saturday evening.
Celebration of KZN talent
The night started off with the singing of the national anthem, followed by a performance by Phuzekhemisi and the Clermont Choir.
The awards are named after legendary South African actor and filmmaker, Simon Mabhunu Sabela.
Sabela is South Africa's first black film director. He directed films like Ikati Elimnyama, a renowned South African comedy film, and Ngaka, which starred Somizi Mhlongo's father, Ndaba Mhlongo.
'We'd like to thank the Simon Sabela Awards for this beautiful award, but also for celebrating KZN talent,' said Modise.
'There is so much talent in this province and I'm so glad there's a platform that celebrates it and uplifts it and gives us more opportunities to make more work,' said Modise.
'On behalf of the cast and the crew and of course the gorgeous ladies that opened up their lives and showed us intimate, vulnerable moments of their lives,' concluded the series director.

'ShxtsNGigs' bring the heat - and the haters - with 'Daddy's Home' SA tour

ShxtsNGigs are set to land in South Africa for their 'Daddy's Home' tour amid the mixed reviews. Image: Instagram The 'ShxtsNGigs' podcast duo, James Duncan and Fuhad Dawodu, have revealed that they are bringing their 'Daddy's Home' tour to South Africa, but not everyone is excited. Known for their unapologetic humour and viral content, they will be taking their podcast live to Johannesburg and Cape Town in 2026. The pair are also notorious for their brutally honest and sidesplitting commentary on their 'Icks' and 'Twitter Hall of Fame' segments, where they discuss sex, relationships and everything pop culture. The 'ShxtsNGigs' podcast has gained immense popularity over the years, entertaining millions with their unfiltered takes and infectious laughs. Video Player is loading.

The announcement, however, has been met with mixed reactions from fans and people who have consumed their previous content and did not find it tasteful. DADDY'S HOME SOUTH AFRICA!!!!! 🇿🇦 📍Johannesburg – Sat 24 Jan 2026, The Goldrush Dome 📍Cape Town – Tues 27 Jan 2026, Grand Arena, GrandWest Patreon pre-sale: Wed 30 July, 9AM SAST General sale: Fri 1 Aug, 9AM SAST Tickets will be available via Ticketmaster! — ShxtsnGigs (@shxtsngigs) July 28, 2025 Back in 2023, Duncan and Dawodu rubbed some South African netizens the wrong way when they poked fun at how South African Twitter (formerly X) interacts online. During their 'Twitter Hall of Fame' segment, they were discussing a viral thread where people shared when they realised their supposed friends hated them. The duo zeroed in on a particularly striking confession: 'When she moved in with my boyfriend.' They then noted how it was a South African thread where people would start their tweets in English, then proceed to end it in their native language, calling it 'gibberish' and 'mouth noise'. They added that it made them feel left out because they, too, want to understand the rest of the tweet. This understandably upset many South Africans who called the podcast hosts out for insulting their diverse culture. The duo later apologised after the backlash, citing that they use the term 'gibberish' for anything they don't understand. Now, with their announcement, some of their fans are excited and are hoping to get their hands on the tickets before they are sold out, while others are just not comprehending why the duo is coming to Mzansi after their offensive comments X user @GoldenMazinyo commented: 'Yo! It's not a good idea for you to waltz into South Africa and expect us to forget the 'gibberish' chat. We have no place for ignorant, pompous, uncultured black Europeans who insult other people's languages for sh*ts and giggles.' @shxtsngigs Yo! It's not a good idea for you to waltz into South Africa, and expect us to forget the "gibberish" chat. We have no place for ignorant pompous, uncultured black Europeans who insult other people's languages for sh*ts and giggles. — Nipholean® 🫗 (@GoldenMazinyo) July 29, 2025 'I really hope nobody buys those tickets after the vile language y'all used against South Africans and their languages,' said @Alwayshurtman. I really hope nobody buys those tickets after the vile language y'all used against South Africans and their languages. No shxts there. — HurtMan (@AlwaysHurtMan) July 29, 2025 The tour is set to kick off on January 24, 2026, at The Golden Dome in Johannesburg and then to the Grand Arena, GrandWes, in Cape Town on January 27.
