Special notes
Last week of the year and a bit of a snooze-fest - so much so that Muvhango wasn't too far off beating Generations. Most shows suffered lower ratings. A shout-out to Durban Beach Rescue - the reality show has replaced Days as SABC3's No. 3 show and actually gained viewers over The Festive.
