  • Actuality show, Speak Out, continues to do well for SABC2, attracting an impressive 3.15 million viewers. Though the show usually does well, its success this month seemed to come down to its lead in, Muvhango, having an absolutely impressive run in December, peaking at over 6 million viewers. 
  • A documentary based on the life of the late Cuban leader, Fidel Castro, did quite well on SABC1, pulling 2.82 million viewers.
  • When Duty Calls, the actality show on SABC2 that focuses on crime, is doing well in the late 10pm slot, netting 1.28 million vierws.
  • An airing of  the movie, Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom, did quite well on etv, pulling 2.13 million viewers. Though it is not etv's highest rated movie for the month (which attracted an additional 300 000 viewers), the viewership, which is an average based on the entire runtime of the movie, is impressive based on the film'd long run time of three hours.
