# The top 10 South African children’s TV shows from days gone by
Thousands of people tuned in to South Africa’s first television broadcast on 5 January 1976 to see exactly what they had been missing for more than two decades. A year later more than 1.5 million viewers were tuning in every evening (the service was initially broadcast only 37 hours per week), according to South African historian Carin Bevan.
Many of these SABC shows held crossover appeal for children and adults. A number of these homegrown hits, such as _Wielie Wielie Walie, Haas Das se Nuuskas, Pumpkin Patch, Kideo, Mina Moo_ and _Professor Fossi en die Dinosaurusse_ were created by prolific writer Louise Smit.
**Our top 10 South African children’s TV shows:**
_Haas Das se Nuuskas_ was the first programme ever screened on South African TV, and soon became its most popular show among both children and adults, to whom its social and political satire appealed. The news-reading rabbit voiced by SABC legend Riaan Cruywagen also set a precedent for the wide use of puppets in SA children’s shows.
‘They call her Liewie Heksie, but Levinia is her name…’ The well meaning but absent-minded little witch from the Afrikaans radio stories made her telly debut in September 1978 and soon became a big hit with children and their parents with her kind heart and knack for accidentally saving the day.
**Pumpkin Patch (1987 — 1991)**
_Pumpkin Patch_ characters included Woofles the security dog, mayor Uncle Bill, teacher Laurel and puppets Speckles and Freckles.
According to SA comedian Martin Evans, Pumpkin Patch ‘seemed to defy the then government’s attitude to so many things’ — such as apartheid, homophobia and the ‘braai mentality’ of South Africa.
_Mina Moo_ was sponsored by the Dairy Board and its message was to encourage children to drink milk. It had English, Afrikaans, Northern Sotho and Zulu versions.
_Trompie_ was based on a popular series of books about the adventures of Trompie Toerien and his three friends, known as the ‘Boksombende’. The theme song was sung by Anton Goosen.
South African blogger The Lank Tank comments, “I hated this programme. Zet didn’t even speak a language. He mumbled and said things like, ‘bakjfbghekbgfkbv bskgbsk. This was Zet’s form of communication and only the presenter could understand what he was saying. What did Zet even teach us? Was there any wisdom to his words?”
