Mzansi reacts to the cancellation of “Muvhango” on social media as the show comes to an end 27 years later.
“Muvhango” fans are still trying to get over the news that the show is coming to an end after it’s cancellation was announced. They have since taken to social media to share some of their favourite moments on the acclaimed show, and it has all been touching.
According to a report by TimesLIVE, the popular Tshivenda drama aired on SABC2 in 1997 and portrayed life in Venda rural Thohoyandou mixing with modern life of people from the tribe living in the city. No doubt, it has been a favourite for households in the country.
Its end was announced in a tweet on Tuesday, after the final episode aired. It read, “end of the road for Muvhango, thank you for watching all these years.”
Netizens shared reactions online.
“SABC2 will take Muvhango viewers down memory lane with the broadcast of the retro episodes of this iconic soapie. Muvhango debuted in 1997, broadcasting once a week and grew to become a daily soapie. As part of celebrating 30 years of democracy, SABC2 will broadcast Muvhango starting from season 1 and provide an opportunity to showcase the historical moments of this iconic production to audiences who may not have seen the show from the beginning,”
Wrote, SABC publicist Caroline Phalakatshela.
“Muvhango is the first Tshivenda TV drama and has presented South African citizens who have not travelled to Venda with an opportunity to have a closer look at one of the most beautiful places in the country.“
