House of Zwide fans react to cancellation

@LoraSedio said:

"I loved House of Zwide. I just stopped watching because I felt like they had lost the plot. They no longer focus on the fashion a lot. The standard of the fashion shows has dropped, ai its just a mess. I hate that this is happening to them; they had potential."

@FlakeyWhistle96 replied

"Scandal will always hurt... What an amazing show it was, and they decided to ruin it ... This is the end for eTV and me, I guess cause I was really only watching Scandal on that channel."

"They must just stick to two soapies with good storylines as they used to with Scandal and Rhythm City."

@KasheSetjhaba1 responded:

"Even Ithonga, it doesn't appear in the first week of March schedule, because 20:30 is Inimba."

@mmakhumoetsile replied:

"I'm going to miss Smokes & Mirrors and Scandal, though. I won't be watching eTV clearly."
