E.TV FANS REACT TO INCREASED VIEWERSHIP @sedi_bear: This show is brilliant; it'll get more viewers soon.
@AfrikanChefZA: I wonder if those who watch Gqeberha know about how brilliant this show is? I guess loyalty to the faves is the only thing that's keeping them from not moving elsewhere.
@Beulah_Phama: This show is sooooo good.
@VuyoJunior3: It should have been number one on e.tv.
@tayatheheir: Without much push. It's got a great storyline and acting. The script is also tight.
@Thiwe: Dear production house, cast & crew. I looooooove your show. #SmokeAndMirrors.
@Kabomo: The acting on Smoke & Mirrors! Those scenes with Nthabiseng & Sakhile. Mandla & Nomeva. Wow clap for them!!
