The Department of Social Development published a white paper this week examining family life in South Africa, taking into account statistics from Home Affairs, Statistics South Africa, and other government sources until 2018.

From 2008 through 2017, the number of weddings recorded by the government was on the decline, with the exception of a 0.6% increase between 2016 and 2017. The government said that “the number of weddings reported in 2017 (135,458) was the lowest since 2008 (186,522).”

The number of traditional marriages is also on the decline; in 2017, just 2,588 were recorded by the Ministry of Home Affairs. There were 16,003 traditional marriages in 2008, therefore this is a significant decrease from that number.

Divorce rates have been rising steadily over the past few years, according to other indicators.

The highest number of divorces was recorded in 2009 (30,763) and the lowest was recorded in 2011 (20,980), according to the department’s data. Divorce rates continued to rise steadily from 2012 to 2017.

About 115 female-headed households and 40 male-headed households had divorces finalized in 2017. In 2017, the projected resident population was about 5.7 million, and the crude divorce rate was 0.4 per 1,000.

The government reported a long-term decline in couple-headed families due to falling marriage rates and rising divorce rates in South Africa.

“By 1996, the percentage of two-parent households was already lower than the global average, at 54.7%, while the percentage of single-parent households was significantly higher, at 47.3%.

Within that brief 18-year window, “crossover” occurred, and two-parent households became less common than those with a single breadwinner.

Twenty-nine percent of the world’s children did not have a stable, parent-in-law household in 2018. But only a third (34.4%) had the benefit of living with both sets of grandparents.

Yet, 41.4% of kids lived primarily with their moms, whereas only 3.3% lived primarily with their fathers.

The government said that the percentage of children living with both parents (34.3%), mothers (34.9%), dads (2.8%), and nobody (23%) has not changed significantly since 2007.

In 2020 South Africa’s state broadcaster inked a new 3-year deal with SABC1 to keep the show on the air, despite complaints from fans that it has become stale and repetitive.

 

The production is currently closed and wrapped up last month, earlier this year than normal, as negotiations concerning the show’s renewal were still ongoing when the new deal was announced.

Uzalo finally comes to an end
Production on the Stained Glass-produced series in Durban was set to resume on December 18, but without a new arrangement in place with SABC1, the producers chose to cancel the rest of the year’s filming. The cast and crew of Uzalo will get an extra day off for the holidays.

The new season of Uzalo, which is owned by Gugulethu Zuma Ncube, the daughter of former president Jacob Zuma, and Pepsi Pokane, began airing in March 2021, and production resumed in the first week of January.

Channel24 was informed during the show that “The factory closed for its annual break; production which was scheduled to resume on November 18, 2020. Production, however, has prolonged its hiatus and then restarted the first week of January 2020 as the contractual process has taken longer than expected “.

Insiders say that SABC management have complained about how repetitive and dull some of the Uzalo plots are, and that the cast and crew feel they are underpaid.

“it is the first time that such a long-term arrangement has been put in place and it marks an unequivocal vote of confidence,” SABC1 says of the 3-year deal with Uzalo.

In an interview, Sane Zondi, the programme manager for SABC1, said “As its results have shown, Uzalo deserves this recognition. The property has shattered several previous benchmarks for soap operas and other long-running television shows. It’s the newest addition to the SABC family, and it’s incredible how far it’s come in such a difficult year for both the broadcasting industry and the country as a whole “.

The SABC claims that the extended contract “would offer the SABC and the production adequate opportunity to engage more in workshopping plot developments with the intention to developing more strong storylines, therefore affecting favorably on the overall quality of the show.”

With 8.8 million viewers (22.75 AR) in October and around 4 million viewers watching the show on SABC1 carried on MultiChoice’s DStv satellite pay-TV service, Uzalo has continued to be the most-watched TV show in the country and on SABC1. This is despite the show being forced off-air for five weeks this year after it ran out of produced episodes due to the local impact of the global Covid-19 pandemic in South Africa.

After South Africa entered its lockdown period, which led to a ratings boost across the board for broadcasters as more people stayed home, Uzalo hit 11.4 million (15 April) and 11.1 million (24 April) viewers on two separate occasions this year.

She was related to the character Vikizitha, played by Siyabonga Radebe, who expressed to Drum his delight in realizing a lifelong ambition of his “benefit from working conditions more familiar to him in his native KwaZulu-Natal.

Uzalo’s publicist Nomfundo Zondi issued a statement to Drum confirming Nomaswazi Magwaza’s departure from the cast “Not being able to come to terms with SABC 1 over the popular show Uzalo.

“Whatever happens in the future with this, we will let you know. Stained Glass would like to extend our gratitude to Omuhle once more for being a part of our family and we hope that she finds much happiness and success in her future endeavors “Added on to that, she says.

Several readers have written to ask which preposition should be used with congratulations. Should we say “congratulations on” or “congratulations for”?

The answer is, “It depends.”

In the singular, congratulation is the action of congratulating. In the plural, congratulations is what one offers to express pleasure in the success or good fortune of another.

The preposition on is used when expressing one’s good wishes in the context of a happy event:

 

 

 

This advice sounded good at first read. I don’t have much formal education in grammar. It may reflect standard usage. As I thought about the mechanics, though, the examples using ‘for’ sounded increasingly unnatural. I came to hold a different view.

First, achievements such as completing, leading, and saving are all events.

Second, grammatically, as an object for the preposition, “winning the lottery” does not differ from “leading the scouts to safety.”

Third, in all seven on/for examples, the object of the preposition is a noun. The first three examples use natural nouns: marriage, baby, and promotion. The fourth and the final three examples all use noun phrases based on gerunds: winning, completing, leading, and saving.

The preposition used, therefore, should not change. Either “winning the lottery” should be in the ‘for’ list, or all seven examples should use ‘on.’

As I see it, the difference should be determined not by ‘event’ versus ‘achievement’ (my 30th anniversary last month certainly was an achievement!).

The time to use ‘congratulations for’ comes when the reason becomes an optional part of the sentence. You can see this in the ‘to’ examples:

“The CEO offered congratulations to all her employees [for working 1,000 hours without any injuries].
“The townspeople offered congratulations to the utility company for the swift restoration of power.”
