Special notes
Telkom Cup knocks out the soapies as Mamelodi topples the Chiefs
Due to the Telkom Knockout Cup final between Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs on Wednesday 16 December, the soapies were pushed later on SABC1, leading to large drops for both Generations and Uzalo, skewing their average numbers for the week.
Muvhango also suffered a large drop on this night, largely because viewers tuned into the later broadcast of Generations at the same time. A similar fate befell Rhythm City and Scandal! on e.tv, which both had huge drops that night.
