"No, Muvhango is not ending. I have it on good authority that it is not ending."

@Kingb_Bongz said:

"If it gets cancelled, I won't be shocked. Their storyline is based on chieftains and witchcraft. They need to move on from it and try to do something different especially this thing of people coming back from the dead is boring."

@ShottaZee said:

"Multichoice shows lack longevity and numbers. Those three shows might be cancelled by next year this time."

"Certainly! Positive news: Duma Ka Ndlovu's Rhythm World Productions has a strong track record with successful telenovelas. They could potentially revive and refresh Muvhango to match the current narrative. Exciting prospects!"

@TsepoThibankhoe said:

"I think continuity is lacking in Muvhango. They can't move away from witchcraft. They keep bringing the same content with a twist."

@Rejoice_Kay said:

"Maybe this is an opportunity for Duma to expand his company and employ more people."

@Brian35911552 said:

"But how is more work for a production company an indication that their longest-running production might be ending? Where is the correlation?"

@Munisa_Mpfula said:

"Cancellation of Muvhango will prove my theory of having fly-by-night content creators in this country. We so many social ills and I feel the show can elicit them."
