shame the road is doing very bad...HighRollers doing well..generations suffering cz of the sex scenes even uzalo is dropping in numbers...idols rating are too low+SABC1 need to bring back x factorSA cz it did pretty well for its 1st season and in terms of viewer ratings

Gen definately suffered becauser of 50shades of smanga .but with coming storylines it will recover .Mamello is still doing indeed .I hope it gets another season wen it ends .z'bondiwe the finale was great I am glad it reached the 3mil mark .

Oh my goodness, what is going on with the Road? Almost ten weeks in and still it doesn't look like the ratings are picking up. I love the Bomb Shelter's productions but someone's gotta save this sinking ship. It's not surprising that Sewende Laan didn't make the top ten, what with the current storylines. Congrats to Z'bondiwe for making it to the 3 Million viewers mark.

Wow well done Z'bondiwe!! Is Forced Love the repeat of what we've seen before or is it a continuation of the old one? I think it was in that series of the Shakespeare Stories .............

@Timone forced love is a continuation from the shakespeare series .this time around they changed the actress that plays Kat .it is now played by Zola Nomboma from Z'bondiwe .

Ive always liked Zola's work but i feel she over acts on Forced love, Puseletso is missed dearly. SABC 1 is slaying these charts man!
