Curtain Call Looms For Egoli
Filed Under Shower Curtain | Posted on November 12, 2008
THE stars of Egoli, South Africa’s longest running soap opera, are “going to miss the show dearly” but they still have a full year in which to shoot more scenes of deception and tangled love.
M-Net and Franz Marx Films have decided to pull the plug on the country’s first home-grown soap opera because of “changing viewership patterns and preferences”.
Egoli has been the mainstay of soapie lovers since April 1992, when it first seduced viewers with its web of intrigue in the lives of families living in Johannesburg, from influential business people to the average suburban family next door.
When Egolis credits roll for the last time in March 2010, the soapie will have had an 18-year run.
