At the time, the show creator Duma Ndlovu was adamant that the show was not coming to an end and the people should be more worried about “the other show”- which was suggested as shade towards its competitor on the channel, 7 de Laan. Now, it seems that Ndlovu was wrong and right following the latest news reports. According to television and film insider, Phil Mphela the two soapies will face having reduced airing days. Starting from the month of August, Mphela reported that the two soapies will be reduced to three airing days a week, rather than the five-day special.
