South Africa's much loved soapie Generations: The Legacy is moving to a new weekly time slot, making way for Uzalo to take on the 8pm prime time slot. Despite being the SABC 1's longest running soapie, Generations: The Legacy has not been performing as well in recent times. Generations: The Legacy will move to a new timeslot as SABC1 reshuffles its weekday primetime schedule from Monday, 27 July. SABC1 channel head Ofentse Thinane said both dramas would remain central to the channel’s evening schedule. “Uzalo and Generations built these evenings together, and both remain exactly where they belong, at the heart of SABC 1 prime time. From 27 July, they simply trade places. Viewers will continue to enjoy both programmes back-to-back. Generations: The Legacy is not stepping out of prime time. It is closing it.” The change comes just in time as Uzalo has been ranked as one the country's most watched TV shows. However, the public broadcaster is adamant that the schedule changes do not affect either programme’s primetime status. Image: Generations: The Legacy
