Entertainment commentator Phil Mphela shared on Twitter that the failure to pay is apparently due to "a delayed payment from the SABC due to the change in contract".

The telenovela airs on both SABC 1 and SABC 3 on weekdays. SABC 1 broadcasts the old season while SABC 3 airs the new season of the show. Talented thespians such as Sdumo Mtshali, Aubrey Poo and Jo-Anne Reyneke are part of the stellar cast.

Peeps took to Phil's comment section and shared mixed reactions to the news.

@RobynMonei said:

"Could it maybe have to do with the ratings on SABC 3??? But it's doing pretty well on SABC 1 and that cast is top-notch, alongside the crew."

"They better pay them.... This soapie has 99% of people who actually know how to act, it can't be cancelled man."

@Suzan84732523 commented:

"They better pay them soon because I love this soapie and all the actors, especially Aubrey Poo."
