The world’s most-watched television soap drama and winner of
31 Daytime Emmy Awards, The Bold and the
Beautiful, has found a new home on
SABC 3 at 18h00.
Risuna Mayimele, SABC 3 Marketing Manager, said, “We are
thrilled to add such a popular and award-winning show to our exciting line up
of quality and entertaining programmes. We are on a concerted drive to make
SABC 3 the home of quality soapies and this latest addition is an enhancement

The Bold and the
Beautiful joins popular and award-winning South African soapie, Isidingo, and the highly rated

decades and enjoys a large, diverse and loyal following.
