Special notes
Due to the Nelson Mandela Challenge soccer match on Tuesday 8 September, Generations was pushed to 22h00 and as a result only posted 3,398,000 viewers, thereby dragging down its overall average for the week. Uzalo did not air - instead it caught up on the Thursday of that week.
Similarly, Muvhango was also affected by the soccer, managing only 3,364,000 viewers on that night. Rhythm City and Scandal! also took a hit.
However, the viewers who would have tuned into Generations and Uzalo tuned into e.tv's Gold Diggers and Kasi Living: Edladleni instead, with both shows sporting massive gains on that night. Gold Diggers spiked at 3,129,000 viewers (way above its average of 1,803,000 viewers) and Kasi Living - which averaged 437,000 the week before - caught an astonishing 1,783,000 viewers.
