Uzalo's biggest accomplishment

It's been almost three and a half years since Uzalo first broke onto the scene in February 2015 and a lot has happened with it since then.

It's been extended from three to five days a week and founding cast members like Dawn Thandeka King are everywhere you look.

Other headliners have been at the centre of jawdropping scandals - flashback to Gxhabashe! - and in June 2015 the show dethroned Generations as the country's No.1 show in a ratings war that continues between them, with Uzalo taking the No. 1 spot in June 2017.

Out of everything that's happened with the soapie over this time, what is its most notable achievement? TVSA asked Uzalo's Creative Director Mmamitse Thibedi who told us:

Mmamitse: Our biggest accomplishment is that we are the number one show in the country and have managed to accomplish this despite the odds of being in Durban where the industry is largely under-resourced, and still have managed to stay true to the grit, language and texture of KZN.

They are doing very well for themselves, I am so happy for them?

Hawu Timone and Max85, I thought everybody knows every now and then there is lots of nepotism and favouritism in this fickle industry of theirs. Talent is not good enough, at least some of the time. It helps sometimes to know people, you know.
