DSTV VIEWERS REACT TO FIGURES AND STORYLINES
@Ayanda35951501: Keep it up #UmkhokhaTheCurse infact Rhythm World Productions and Tshedza Pictures are the ones running Mzansi Magic now. I don't know if I'm the only one whom noticed two from Tshedza which is Champions and Gqeberha .
@MavoSthe: Yup. They are having revealed the maternity and all recently, I'm struggling to see them creating another future plot that will keep us in suspense but let's wait and see. Unless, of course, #Mamzobe starts shooting some people.

@OupaMnguni: UMkhokha is a very demanding soapy from an actor/character perspective, not only does it require talented but also seasoned actors. But unfortunately, Gabi is still new to live up their character demands. She will get better I think.
