Meanwhile, Briefly.co.za previously reported that Uzalo is here to stay for quite a while after producers, Stained Glass, signed a three-year agreement with SABC 1. The broadcaster issued a statement lauding the "ever-so-popular drama series" and what seems to be an unprecedented deal:
"It is the first time that such a long-term arrangement has been put in place and it represents an unequivocal vote of confidence the channel places in Mzansi’s best-performing soapie by far.”
SABC 1's Programmes Manager Sane Zondi feels that the drama has earned it after breaking records:
“The property has broken a set of records in the industry for a soapie or a long-running drama series. It’s the youngest entry in the SABC stable and it is phenomenal what the property has managed to achieve despite the challenges this year has shown, not only in the broadcasting landscape but the country as a whole.”
This comes after the soapie suffered a drop in stats during the Covid-19 lockdown, which prompted the series to drop off the air for a few weeks.
After the show resumed, it experienced a drop in support but the broadcaster pointed out that it remains the "highest achiever to date". South Africans can look forward to a brand-new season premiering in March next year, concluded the statement.
