Igazi takes over DStv's throne
According to the Broadcast Research Council's latest television audience measurement survey figures, Igazi raked in over 1.1 million viewers for a single episode last month.
Our Perfect Wedding came in a close second, with only 10,000 viewers less tuning in for its most popular episode. Igazi also beat out Mzansi Magic's flagship soapie Isibaya by over 200,000 viewers.
The drama, which focuses on a Xhosa royal family whose members are not only fighting for the throne, but also their own demons, was an instant hit.
"I think it is because of how different it is. So many shows are similar, but Igazi is refreshing because it takes the Xhosa setting and gives it a real twist. You leave each episode questioning whether what you saw was possible," Igazi star Zikhona Sodlaka said.
