Entertainment commentator Mlu shared on his X account on Tuesday, 18 November 2025, that Mugovhani will star opposite her former Scandal! co-star Brighton Mngoma on the new show.

Social media responds to Muvhango's replacement
Nare Miz Wilson said:
"As long as Thabo Malema is there. I'm in."
Paula Noganta wrote:
"Yho, just by looking at the cast, I'm sold. I guess I'll be back to watch SABC next year."
Lebza Ndialivhuwa Netshituka replied:
"Is this an old school story or a new one? If I am not mistaken, there's one that is about a crime in Pimville. 2 police officers and a lady and a man were trying to solve the crime as police officers. Maybe I am wrong."
Refilwe Langa reacted:
"SABC 2 is so weak, like South Africa, it will be multi-language drama. Ba tlo re tena," (They are going to annoy us). Why can't they stick to Sotho and Setswana like SABC1? Uzalo and Amalanga Aka Fani. Please stop Impressing those who won't be Impressed. For once just deliver assomblief," (please).
