Egoli is South Africa's longest running soapie. It follows the lives of a few families living in Johannesburg, from influential business people to the average surburban family next door.
There are a few people who work for Walco, an International automobile manufacturer, which is led by the Edwards family.
All the other families' lives are intertwined in some way, either as friend or foe.
Well, firstly, I am really sad that Egoli is coming to an end next year. I have been watching since it started and the characters are like my own family. I would do anything if I could persuade Franz Marx to keep it going. I love it because, unlike American soaps, I can relate to the people in Egoli. They are natural, down to earth ordinary South Africans unlike the characters in American soaps who are all beautiful and impeccably dressed and groomed at all times. Life is not like that. I never miss an episode if I can help it. Once the series comes to an end, would it not be possible to sell it to one of the SABC channels and start the series all over again? I know a lot of people feel like me and would definitely watch. Alternatively, how about box sets that one could buy? I would buy the whole series.
