A deliberate and strategic move by Mzansi Magic, to offer viewers a dynamic show that would keep them glued to their screens and secure that slot.

Executive producer Mpumelelo Nhlapo also said the production company has a slew of new and exciting shows in the pipeline that they're developing with their broadcast partners and that they can't wait to share them with viewers.

The cancelled telenovela received nine nominations at this year's South African Film and Television Awards (SAFTAs).
