It has won the hearts of millions of viewers that we are grateful for.

We have cast and crew members that are dedicated and passionate and the end product is always worth the ups and downs.

Sumanya added that they intend to keep telling stories as they've always done and hope audiences show them the same love they did in the past 2000 episodes.

Seems like Charlie s personality on screen is similar to his real life personality

VIEWERS REACT TO 2000 EPISODES BLOOPER @MahumaniMpilo:

I wish this can happen every two weeks or monthly.

@nbmushwana:

These short clips would hit if they were posted daily on TikTok or here.

@Menelisi_Sihle:

Everyone stepped out of character immediately they realised they made a mistake.

But Charles continued being Charles.

@african-news-agency:

Magongwa is a legend, lena batho ba mang mang .

On the other hand, le sure Thobakgale and Magongwa aren't real-life enemies?
