“The common ground reached by the two parties stems from the fact that the soap has maintained its spot as South Africa’s most loved soap for the past 28-years. The programme boasts a viewership of more than 8.5 million and is currently the second most-watched daily soap in the country,” read a statement issued by the SABC.
