"Can someone explain why Uzalo is no1. Is it really that good or do they have a prime spot in one of the most popular channels?"

@mmatona_ntuane commented:

"Scandal is on fire. I still don't know why Uzalo is number 1 because ya bora yoh! I don't watch it anymore."

@SamLetsoalo14 added:

"House of Zwide gets sympathetic views. The storyline is mid, the sound guys are terrible, plus that guy wa ga Zuma (terrible actor). Scandal is the best."
