by SAARF & MarkLives (@marklives) SABC 1 TV drama Tempy Pushas jumped to second place on our Top 10 TV ranking during the week of 12 — 18 May 2014, our SAARF/MarkLives #Top40TVratings national chart shows. Family Bonds leapt into third position after increasing its audience from 4 942 409 to 5 171 880. Shuga: Love, Sex, Money, also broadcast on SABC 1, is also a new entry in our Top 10 ranking.
This weekly roundup of South Africa’s TV audience viewership, a collaboration between the South African Audience Research Foundation (SAARF) and MarkLives, reveals the best-watched shows of the week before, where it ran and how many South Africans tuned in to watch.
We offer two tables, the first covering all households — free-to-air viewing (the various SABC channels and e.tv) as well as the DStv platform — and the second charting the best-watched shows on the DStv network of channels only.

SAARF’s main objective is to direct and publish media audience and product/brand research for the benefit of its stake-holders, thereby providing data for target marketing and a common currency for the buying and selling of media space and time. SAARF has thus the responsibility to measure the audiences of all traditional media such as newspapers, magazines, radio, television, cinema and out of home media.
