After nearly three decades on South African screens, beloved soapie Muvhango has officially wrapped production.
This week, the cast and crew gave fans a heartfelt behind-the-scenes look at their final day on set.
A video shared on social media captured emotional farewells, with cast members reflecting on the remarkable journey they’ve shared over the years.
In one touching clip, the Royal sons expressed their gratitude to fans and fellow cast members, calling the experience life-changing as they filmed the last-ever scene of Muvhango.
Since its debut in 1997, Muvhango made television history as South Africa’s first Tshivenda-language soap opera.
Over the years, it has launched and nurtured the careers of many notable actors, including Maumela Mahuwa, who portrayed Chief Azwindini’s wife, Susan Mukwevho.
She joined the show in 2002 and has become one of its most enduring characters.
As the curtain closes on this chapter, viewers can prepare to welcome Pimville — the new telenovela set to take over the timeslot.
Muvhango’s final episode will air on 8 August 2025.
