We're starved for laughter and romance, and it's getting weird. Remember when we had sitcoms and PSAs and shows concerned with the entire scope of South African life? What's happened to that?
Hi Khensani, enjoyed reading this. What role do you think money (or lack of it) has played in this situation of finding mainstream shows catering to witchcraft or some of the other themes mentioned ?
More so maybe money to produce light hearted or series that aren't aligned to the themes mentioned in your post ? I look at it from that the shows that explore the usual themes of witchcraft and crime are probably seen as shows that'll more easily get eyes on them cause it's a tried and tested format at this stage, and in turn probably more profits cause of higher advertising/marketing fees the producers are able to charge ?
