Umlilo is the best South African production right now followed by Matatiele, pity they're not on SABC 1

Hi Ingenuity - Umlilo's viewership was 1 077 000 this week.

The silly notion that a show has to be on SABC1 to gain better ratings has been thoroughly squashed by Scandal, the best production on etv. And it seems it'll retain that status for quite some time.

Z'bondiwe is on etv not on sabc but its still able to attract 3million viewers .that means more people can relate to z'bondiwe than they do umlilo .I would like to find out the ratings for soccerzone and live amp on sabc 1 please TVSA

I don't understand why people keep believing that Isidingo will pick up, Isidingo has spent most of it time on televison under the 1 million mark, it was defeated at 18:30, also defeated at 19:30. Even now at 19:00 it is still defeated. 17 years later Isidingo does not even have 3 million viewers next to it name. Well we will see
