Special Notes
Mover of the Week
High Rollers on SABC3 increased from 438,000 viewers in Week 29 to 593,000 in Week 30, an aggregate increase in viewership of 35%.
Load Shedding on Friday 24 July
There was Stage 2 load shedding on this night which drove down the numbers of shows including the soapies, affecting their overall average. This is on top of the fact that these shows generally don't perform as well on Fridays, as people begin their weekend. This means that the large gap between Uzalo and other shows has been distorted by load shedding, as it only airs three days a week and avoided the drop-off the weekly soapies faced on the Friday.
