Special Notes
Zaziwa
If the above
numbers are accurate, it means that Zaziwa has plummeted by almost 1-million viewers (and probably more) since its move from Thursdays to Sundays from 12 February 2017.
In
January 2017, it recorded an episode high of 3,560,381 viewers for its highest episode in the month when it still aired on Thursdays.
It has dropped off SABC1's Top 20 list completely since its move, which means it attracted less than 2,632,248 viewers for its highest episode in March - a loss of 928,133 viewers.
Zaziwa's loss has been Throwback Thursdays gain.
