Special interest notes
Please note that we've re-categorised the primary genres of Zaziwa and Selimathunzi to talk and magazine show respectively.
Zaziwa's primary genre used to be music and Selimathunzi's used to be variety. Their secondary genres were talk and magazine show which meant that they weren't included in the Top 5 lists.
After careful consideration we've re-categorised them as we feel it's a more accurate reflection of what they are.
