A few days ago, eMedia Investments announced that Days Of Our Lives would be scrapped from e.tv next month as they shift focus on building their local offering as seen on their streaming service, eVOD.
Considering how much cutbacks they've been under their umbrella this doesn't surprise me the least bit especially for Days Of Our Lives which has been allocated in several timeslots inbetween 4pm to 6pm and also not on eVOD just like Impact.

The CBS drama isn't the only program exiting the channel apparently even the 8:30pm timeslot known for series like Chicago PD and New Amsterdam will be used for more local dramas.
We know Imbewu, Isono and The Black Door will be sitting in that timeslot and Sunday will have a "local drama series" playing at 8pm as movies come right after just like SABC 3.
"Local drama series" could only mean one thing either Housewives or likely Is'phindiselo will be occupying that timeslot as the channel is trying to align themselves with eVOD and adding eKasi: Our Stories would be a low blow on their part.
eKasi Our Stories has aired as much as Anaconda, Fast And The Furious and even those Schuster movies e.tv love so much but considering how committed they are to that timeslot it wouldn't surprise me if Is'phindiselo or Housewives aired.

MultiChoice a pay-tv company with millions of DStv customers refused to share consumer numbers as the figures are weak so imagine how many people actually use eVOD so this move would actually help bring in more revenue and potentially kill some viewers.
