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.
