Mzansi is excited for Anele Mdoda's new venture

SA has a lot of questions about Anele Mdoda's latest move, and many are feeling optimistic about the future of SA TV

Below are some of the reactions:

@ujustinwenu asked:

"Given that South African production companies don’t own or get residual income from the TV shows they produce, how is she going to benefit from this acquisition? Or she’s only going to make money from the succeeding seasons of the aforementioned shows when they are renewed?"

@justmandy93 is optimistic:

"Maybe we’ll finally get some nice reality shows and franchise shows in South Africa. There’s that gap."
