REACTIONS FROM VIEWERS @GobhaNicholas:
So people will be stuck with The Queen for another year. Yi Torture mos le.
Sihlephoenix:
With the exception of The Queen why cancel Lingashoni what if the next season brings up the ratings.
I thought series have longevity based on the ratings they bring.
@ntombi_waKWT:
Lingashoni didn't even last that long.
As for The Queen good riddance.
@ht4211:
Lingashoni was supposed to be on Mzansi Magic for a bigger audience.
It's a good show with a good cast but I don't think playing it on 1Magic for only DSTV premium was the best choice.
@NTHABEETee:
Yho Phil you are saying it will be a full year of The Queen.
That sh*t needs to end today.
