Muvhango shuts down after 27 years-TVSA
Dear beloved readers and Muvhango fans- TVSA
“Dear beloved readers and Muvhango fans… it pains us to bring you this news and in this sudden, extreme manner.As you may know, there have been no Muvhango teasers this month, a first in the history of TVSA.
We’ve been requesting them from the SABC but they haven’t been available and we’ve noticed that the show’s Twitter account didn’t Tweet for the whole of June.
Also the cast has been on break for ages – each time we’ve called to enquire about something – and yesterday TVSA member Sulaiman Isaacs posted that the latest season would be ending this week, a short season of only 130 episodes.
We’ve been trying to uncover what’s going on, asking both the SABC and the show’s production house Word of Mouth Pictures but there’s been no clarity until tonight, 2 July.
Word of Mouth spokesperson Thanduxolo Jindela tells TVSA that there are no teasers because the show has shut down.He tells us that the finale episode airs tonight.
Immediately and just like that. It’s heartbreaking for such a thing to happen to such a long-running legendary show!We feel your hurt if it’s going to impact on you.
As we told you earlier this year, the latest season of Generations was touch and go and things were resolved but clearly the behind-the-scenes negotiations for a new season of Muvhango have failed.We’ll keep you posted when we hear anything further.”- TVSA
