Generations has upper hand

There are two reasons why Generations is still number one soapie in South Africa. Let's draw a similarity to make the point clear: People are revolting against the ANC, but come elections time who do they vote for?

You've guessed right, the ANC! Is it that we are used to the ANC or is there no alternative? You decide. Generations is like the ANC, it doesn't deliver but people still watch it. Why? To get the answer, you need to look at alternatives. Is there an alternative to Generations at 8pm?

No, except on one or two occasions. Imagine if Isidingo or Cheaters were to screen at the same time as Generations, what would happen to Generations' ratings? . You've guessed right again!
