Johannesburg – Tropika Island of Treasure has been nominated in four categories at the upcoming National Film & TV Awards South Africa (NFTA).
The hit reality competition show has been nominated in two major television categories: Best Competition Show and Best Non-Scripted TV Series.
Recognising her magnetic screen presence and empathetic leadership on set, popular broadcaster Zanele Potelwa has earned dual individual nominations for Best Female TV Personality and Best TV Presenter as host of the show.
Zanele is hosting Season 12 of Tropika Island of Treasure, which captivates television audiences across the country every Wednesday night.
For Clover, the brand behind Tropika, the nominations are a proud moment for a show that has continued to entertain audiences with its mix of challenges, personalities, unexpected twists and spectacular island setting.
“We’re incredibly proud to see Tropika Island Of Treasure recognised with four nominations at the National Film & TV Awards South Africa,” said Sveti Kovatcheva, Brand Manager: Dairy Fruit Mix at Clover.

“We’re excited to see the season connecting with audiences, and there is still so much more to come.”
The award nominations arrive at a pivotal moment in the broadcast schedule.
With the season not even halfway through its run on SABC 1, viewers have only glimpsed the beginning of what Réunion Island has in store for the remaining contestant duos.
