The best South African show you probably not watching, ZA News: Puppet Nation, received eight nods, being nominated in the Best Comedy Category, alongside Ga Ra Dumele, Kota Life Crisis, and Those Who Can't. They also featured in the Best Achievement by Supporting Actor in a TV Comedy for their puppeteers ( I don't know if all the puppeteers are male), Best Achievement in Art/Production Design in a TV Comedy, Best Achievement Costume Design in a TV Comedy, Best Achievement in Cinematography in a TV Comedy, Best Achievement in Editing in a TV Comedy, Best Achievement in Sound Design in a TV Comedy and Best Achievement in Scriptwriting in a TV Comedy. If you want to know what the fuss is about, they do upload all their episodes onto YouTube.
