Skeem Saam cast and producers must be very proud. From humble beginnings to this. I think it's a feat worth celebrating. It seems their overly dramatic and far-fetched storylines are doing the trick. I am not bemused by the resurgence of RC. It was inevitable. Also, considering that Isidingo has been weakened by the loss of another major character, I think RC will do even better in the coming weeks. I thought by this week Gen would've fallen to 5 million. I guess SABC1 daily serials have cemented the 6 million mark. Scandal has been rocking lately. Credit to their script writers, which I regard as the best in the TV industry at the moment. I think it deserves 5 million by september.

This is the same week as menzi ngubane started on ashes2ashes .I am not surprised some of the generations viewers went to ashes cz they are now sitting on 1.7million .congratulations to skeem saam all the hardwork has paid off .this will give Mfundi Vundla the courage to shake things up .the show needs a new headwriter cz Bongi Ndaba the previous headwriter knew how to bring in the human element to the storyline .Tv industry continues to grow n people are watching great local content

In one of this days Mr Mfundi Vundla will have to agree that Generations is dying a slow painful death. I just hope Gold Diggers is interesting or else Generations will regain it viewers.

Its true Gadaffi (vuyo dabula )has decided to leave gen for greener pastures according to gen extra website ,in other words he was pushed because ppl were complaining that he is not a very good villain on the soapie .wish him all the best

Sentiment aside, good storylines are being rewarded......we should do the same even with the Elections. Thank you Etv for helping unknown production houses with your platform.
