Soapies should not be real life stuff.  by  soapiewriter
I am a writer myself. If a person wants real life TV Drama, he must stay away from soapies. That is what they are: A big fat fantacy world. They are there to entertain us. Some are a bit / a lot westernized. I think it is that angle that makes them appeal to all South Africans. The soapie I am writing now mixes the western world with african ways. I enjoy soapies. The thought of something extraordinary happening thrills me. Things that don't happen in this world.

SA soaps are westernised.  by  hate sa soapies
oh yes there are so westernised its irritating, blacks behaving like whites, puke. Mavhango is so African.
As for the person that says that soapies are not suppose to be real but stuff of fantasy, who says behaving like a westerner is a fantasy, its actaully happening and why should an African's fantasy be westernised, can't it be an African fantasy?

soapies are fantacies  by  Teekay
That's the aim of soapies so that people would escape from a real world and start fantacizing it release the stress and SA soapies are very much westernised. our soapies have the same story line as the bold and the beautiful and days of our lives everyone is taking someone slse's man or woman.
