Muvhango ‘comes to an end’ after 25 seasons

Muvhango

SABC 2’s long-running soapie Muvhango reportedly aired its last season on 2 July 2024 after 27 years of airing. Reports have it that episode 130 of season 25 was the last episode of the drama series. However, viewers were shocked that the channel never gave them an update about the development. The drama series, created by Duma Ndlovu and produced by Word of Mouth, wrapped its season finale with a wedding scene for Reneilwe and Kgosi.

Muvhango

The Tshivenda language drama series first aired in April 1997. However, due to its newfound fame and spike in viewership, it started airing five episodes a week instead of the initial one episode per week.

Just after the episode season finale ended, Muvhango took to X, formerly Twitter, to confirm that the series was ending. The drama series’ official page posted, “End of the Road for Muvhango, Thank you for watching all these years.

Since the X post dropped, the drama series has undoubtedly been topping trends. Viewers quickly flooded social media with their two cents, trying to connect the dots about why Muvhango ended without formal communication from the showrunners.

The drama series was SABC 2’s most-watched programme, with 1,292,635 viewers as of May 2024. It was more than a drama series to viewers, as it taught and preserved the Venda language and culture.

SABC and the showrunners are yet to shed more light on the drama series’ abrupt ending. However, The South African has yet to confirm the reasons behind the decision. The post comes after entertainment blogger Phil Mphela announced that the production company responsible for the show had stopped shooting.

On the other hand, it was also reported that the drama series’ contract renewal was in limbo. Reports have it that the SABC has been dragging its drama series’ contract renewal decision.

However, Muvhango is now the second long-running SABC 2 soap to end abruptly. Last year, the channel axed 7deLaan. Over the years, the drama series has thrust several stars into the limelight.
