"Wow, is Elsie back from the dead. That's why I loved Muvhango?"

"Thandaza should also return. More like the afterlife episode for that week."

"We tried giving it a chance. The storylines were bad."

"It was only a matter of time. Even Venḓa people don't watch Muvhango anymore, and I don't blame them. The writers and producers stopped caring a long time ago. But at least it should be replaced by another Venḓa show."

"Then there was Vele, the drama Queen yase Thathe. I used to love her, bathong!"

@SiweM_ said:

"Oh, SABC 2 may get 30 minutes of my time on weekdays again since they canceled 7de Laan. It honestly got more interesting for me when it got darker. But I can see how that would not be well received by some of its audience."

"This is the last time we are going to hear Venda other than in Cosmo and Alex. This is sad."

@popomosarwane responded:

"This show gets canceled every month. I thought they were already canceled."

@NalediGontse10 commented:

"7de laan was so good though. It's still sad that it got cancelled, shame, but it got a bit dark and strayed from its 'feel good' nature."

@moroaswi19316 responded:

"Good news. I tried to give Muvhango a chance, but it was boring. Bakwena Productions gave us Losing Lerato, their shows are nice, but they must pay actors."
