Zone 14 still leads the race ehehehe but most people say they dont like it yet view it, same as generations.

@TDC: with SABC the choices are limited close to non-existing, so I'm not suprised Zone 14 and Generations are leading; there's nothing better on at that tym :-) Thank God for Dstv!

I think so suga cause that aint making sense. 

Why dont we give ratings for Local and Int shows separate I dont think comparing Days of our lives and Scandal is fair, just my point of view
