Special Notes
The Road fell to a new ratings low this week as it continues it's struggle on The Road to Nowhere. The big budget series, which must be costing Mzansi Magic a fortune to make, dropped out of the channel's Top 10 list and only managed to reach 185,000 viewers.
This is 353,000 viewers less than the average viewership in it's
premiere week.
It narrowly beat Zabalaza, which also fell out of the Top 10 with 178,000 viewers.
