Muvhango fans bid farewell to the show

@PelisaS said:

"The Muvhango of Catherine and Azwindini's mom fighting over Mashudu's inheritance. When Mukondeleli wanted her son to take the throne, when Thandaza and Doobsie were fighting over Edward, when Aunt Doris came with dubious plans every other day; 'You must never!' It was once great."

"It’s time now. They are not adapting to the new norms, the acting is very terrible, lack of research on key aspect of traditions and customs. It’s just a lot recently. It's sad for those who are becoming unemployed, but they let themselves down big time."

@NotTheFathers said:

"Damn, I know my granny is hating life right now."

@HarleysuzieR replied:

"Damn, this show was so good. They lost the plot as well as the reason for the show. I mean I am Venda myself, but I was not enjoying the show anymore to a point where I decided to stop watching it."

"They should have never let Mulimisi go because those Venda episodes with the ancestors were top tier."

"Can somebody please pass this memo to Generations and Uzalo because wow. I no longer even judge my grandmother for enjoying those Indians that speak Zulu because you know what their far more entertaining than these 2 shows and they know when to stop."
