Good news for Muvhango viewers

Viewers of Muvhango took to social media on Monday to celebrate the return of KK Mulaudzi in the SABC2 soapie.


 

Entertainment commentator Mlu reports that fan-favourite actor Macdonald Ndou, who played KK Mulaudzi has returned to the soapie.

“Mcdonald Ndou is set to make a return to his role as KK Mulaudzi on #Muvhango. The star is busy shooting with Word-of-Mouth pictures at SABC studios.”

On the show, KK’s son Kgosi (Tebatso Mashishi) is getting married traditionally. He’s asked his uncle Azwindini (Gabriel Temudzani) to represent him at the lobola negotiations.

Muvhango actors Buhle Samuels and Sydney Ramakuwela, who played Matshidiso and Mulalo also returned to the soapie in January.

Entertainment commentator Jabu Macdonald reports that Muvhango has been renewed for season 25.

TVSA reported in October and November that the show is the most-watched TV show on the channel with over 1 million viewers.

The Broadcasting Research Council of South Africa (BRCSA) May figures reveal that the show is still the most-watched show on SABC2.

Zimoja reported in November 2023 that actors and crew from the soapie were left frustrated as they have reportedly not been paid since September before production break.

A source from production told the publication that actors and crew are about to lose their homes and cars due to non-payments.

“We have been on a production break since September and have still not been paid our salaries from before we went on a break. We are not getting any answers, which shows that we work like slaves at the hands of someone respected in the showbiz industry.”

Muvhango spokesperson Ndumi Mdletshe refused to comment on the matter when she was contacted by the publication.
