Many people are not surprised by this, claiming that the bland storyline contributed to the show's failure.

Some people feel as though the 6:30 pm time slot might have also been the problem. Reacting to @PhileMphela's post, this is what people said:

@Gowjas stated:

"I love that Portia girl but her boyfriend was a huge miss shem. Even that bearded guy from Isidingo is now boring. He is overdoing things."

@Melodious_Miss said:

"Tried to give it a chance it was bad from the 2nd episode."

@Mashikisha24 shared:

"I tried watching it shame hayiii chaaaa🤦🏾‍♂️"

@Llekamania_ claimed:

"That 18:30 slot is cursed."

@kholimad stated:

"Not surprised, storyline very hard to follow."

@ReubenManiac argued:

"This show had no proper storyline, actors can't act their characters. Everything was forced. We move to another one."

@ht4211 suggested:

"ETv shows need to follow Mzansi Magic shows and upload ALL EPISODES on DSTV catch-up. There is so many shows to watch and little time,putting all episodes gives viewers a chance to follow the whole story and they become invested. Not everyone is sitting in front of a TV at 18:30."

Reason for Gqeberha: The Empire cancellation revealed

In a previous report from Briefly News, the alleged reason Gqeberha: The Empire was scheduled for cancellation was revealed.

According to reports, the show was not only canned because of low ratings, but the reason was much more than that.
