It initially told the story of two young men who were switched at birth, one being raised in a family with core Christian values and the other at a crime syndicate.

Once again the SABC 1 drama series, Uzalo, has made it in the trending topics on social media.

This time, things are not looking good at all, as their followers are now requesting for the show to be shut down or cut down.

This happens after the continuous outcry from the public about the storyline that has failed the most talented actors within the show.

As we’ve all seen, Uzalo’s viewership has been affected, from what it was before the whole downfall. This is really worrying because Uzalo was considered the most-watched TV show in mzansi.

The show reported that in April 2020, it had 11.4 million viewership. However, things went sour later in the year as they got 8.8 million viewership.

Even worse in January 2021, it is believed that Uzalo decreases its viewership to 3 million. Also, several reports have stated that Uzalo will go on a production break at the beginning of March 2021.

However, it seems like the rumour was not true or things have changed as the show is still aired on SABC 1.

Additionally, reports also stated that SABC 1 has given the production team a lifeline to work on their story otherwise the show will shutdown.

Now, Uzalo’s season 7 is here and their well-loved actors are expected to be brought back to revive the show, namely GV, Mxolisi, Mastermind and Thobile.

Also, the new season started with the businesswoman, socialite and reality star, Shawn Mkhize who didn’t win people’s hearts with her debut in acting.

There has been a post on Twitter that got people sharing their opinions about Uzalo had over 500 retweets, 3 400 likes and 200 comments.

The major issue is that people claim there’s no growth and creativity within their storyline.

They believe the producers have lost their plot of the story, which has left their views confused and wanting to boycott the show.

The viewers feel that they deserve better from Uzalo writers, actors and the whole production team.

@robina_dilo said, “Uzalo is doing numbers because it a show of a certain Z tribe and that whole province probably tune in to hear their Z language, nothing interesting there.”

@GTN_95 said, “So you guys are still watching that nonsense? I stopped watching it when Nkunzi counted I think R4 million cash.”

@zahMokeona said, “What shocked me about Uzalo is the fact that the head writer is Chris Q Radebe aka Dabula from Isibaya. That guy writes for The River, Isibaya, The Queen, said to be one of the best in South Africa, but what the heck happens when he writes for Uzalo?”

@PrinceMMNcube17 said, “When Uzalo started it was about kids who got swapped at birth but now everything is about Nkunzi ny*bing every woman there & they lost it there. Look at Isibaya started about taxi violence it’s still is about its pure storyline.”

@SithaleKgaogelo said, “In case you don’t know, the writers and editors of Uzalo are connected politically. There was even an uproar of how they got that slot.”

Uzalo initially told the story of two families in the township of Kwa-Mashu: the Mdletshe family, who play a significant role in the management of the Kwamashu Kingdom Church, and the Xulu family run a car theft syndicate.

The connection between the families was that their eldest sons were switched at birth during the period when Nelson Mandela was released from prison.

As the show has progressed over the years, the storylines have dramatically changed with interchanging characters, contributing to many new story arcs, but simultaneously maintaining the growth of some of its main and supporting characters.
