M-Net and Franz Marx productions have made a joint decision to end Egoli in March 2010!
For that reason M-Net rescheduled Egoli and Binnelanders so that Binnelanders will start at 18:00 and Egoli at 18:30. This is so that Binnelanders, which will continue past March 2010, won't overlap with 7de Laan, and for viewers to adapt to the new timeslot well before Egoli comes to an end.
Egoli was South Africa's very first soap opera as well as South Africa's longest running soap opera. It started in 1990 and thus would have been airing for 20 years when the show comes to a permanent end.
It is unclear what programme or programmes will be replacing Egoli. M-Net does have multiple options however. They can either turn the 18:30 timeslot into a comedy timeslot, like it was during Open Time before Binnelanders became a daily soap opera, or they can schedule a talk show, or schedule a one hour show to run from 18:30 to 19:30, or they can produce a whole new soap opera (most likely), or make Binnelanders a 1 hour soap opera.
I'm not an Egoli fan myself so I'm glad to see the show go. In fact, I'm not a soapie fan at all. They all can go. But I know some other people will be very disappointed.
Give your views and opinions. What do you think of Egoli? Are you a fan? Would you rather like Egoli to stay on beyond 2010?
