Its kinda sad that Days of our lives has more viewers than Isidingo. eTV erred by taking Club 808 to a 6:30 time slot and now they can't even make a million Missed them,where had they gone to TVSA

Yho! Muvhango has gone down. But I'm not surprised, the cancer storyline stolen from Generations is terrible.

Scandal has also dropped, they must stay away from this kasi-culture-poor people storylines. We are poor in real life we don't want to watch POOR. It's not entertaining.
