"It was about time. After season 2 they lost it shame."

"I think this is a trend with South African television. Telenovelas barely reach 5 seasons. Generations, Uzalo and Scandal are the longest-standing shows. I think it's because they're the most watched. The storyline is interesting in the first season because it's new and no one knows about it and after that, the juice runs out. The storylines become predictable and boring then people lose interest. Maybe young and upcoming writers should be given a chance to write stories. Keep it interesting and us the viewers on the edge."

"It’s not interesting anymore stopped watching it ages ago when it started feeling like a chore."

"It's no longer relevant. Since Don, Melusi, and the other characters left I find it boring. Mzozozo is the only character making us watch it. I think MNET is doing the right thing by cancelling the show."
