I see Top billing's coup of Bonang has'nt done anything for them coz they cant even make a mil if Isidingo wins the best soapie this year we can then all agree that the results were rigged

SAFTAs are Isidingo awards, we all know that. They will win Best Ensemble, Best Writing Team and Best Soap - why? SAFTAs are a joke. We need awards that have judges who are not biased but will be honest. Maybe we do need more awards.

Isidingo keeps proving over and over that no one is interested, their ARs keep dropping but no, SAFTA is going to give them awards. You ask yourself, what's the point? In American TV shows are measured also by their success, that's why the close them down if numbers do not do the talking. But not in SA, WE PRAISE THEM EVEN MORE

Why did SAFTAs even move to SABC 3? If i remember clearly they first Aired on SABC 1. Ever since they moved to 3 ever since Isidingo won every Damn! Lets face reality, the soapie is damn boring nowadays and others are duin good work. Yisoapisism le phela.

Generations is kicking ass these days, I was shocked that they were not nominated for script writing - that is a joke. I mean look at the ARs, they have jumped close to 7mil and people mustn't even lie and say it's because they are at 8pm, because you ask why would people care if there was no good story, the fact that they had such a drastic jump, says look at their content
