Ashes to ashes dropped again #Dead. By the way I don't think isidingo will get canned coz its sabc3 highest rating show. Congrats to generations Again, I'm suprised at muvhango though, bt its not a huge drop. Matatiele? Where re them ratings? I expected a huge turn up but I guess muvhango slays any kind of competition.

Going against SABC1 shows is always a losing battle. They are rather competing among each other. uZalo holding their own and Skeem Saam picking up the pace. Tempy Pushas doing well on friday nights. I am really impressed by the boys from Turfloop.

Show-Time I agree with you 100% bt not only sabc1, I feel like the Sabc is competing with itself coz they can proudly boast about having top local shows in sa. They are feeding the competition Dust

I agree with u @tashi speak out is doing well n dingaan mokebe is a great host ,he speaks african languages very well .ashes 2 ashes will end in august ,I wonder if etv will produce another telenovela or just let go of this regeneration timeslot all together .

Uzalo and Skeemsaam have sky rocketed and they are fantastic shows, but I wonder if uzalo doesn't have an unfair advantage because its not aired on fridays when fewer people watch tv, none-the-less it has been consistent and great.. proud of turfloop guys as for muvhango, I get lazy to change channels cos my remote control gets cold during winter, I have 1 of those stainless steel remotes

Guys, Matatiele only started airing on 7 April 2015, these ratings are until 5 April 2015, therefore it is not included, let's wait until the next ratings neh.

Good to see my fav soap Skeem Saam doing so well, its the 1st SABC programme to be loaded on Dstv Explora's catch up. THEY MUST JUST MOVE IT TO THE 19:00 SLOT!
