Isidingo is one of the longest-running South African soap operas with a long list of an ensemble cast. The show, which began in 1998, has completed over five thousand episodes, garnering huge followership, both in South Africa and beyond. Although the show began as Isidingo, the name was later changed to Isidingo: The Need in 2001. Through the show, the Rainbow Nation has witnessed a crop of fast-rising young actors and actresses, which has kept the show afloat for several years.<\/p>\n

Having lasted for several years, the show has raked several awards and recognition.
