Entertainment commentator Phil Mphela also confirmed through an X (formally Twitter) post that the soapie would now be expanding its episode offering and would be airing from Monday through to Sunday. However, the reception to this news on socials was split in different directions as some supporters are excited while some are unsure about how this decision will play out.
Some commenters were more concerned about whether the cast and team would be compensated accordingly for the extra working hours.
“How is this a good idea?” says one user.
Ngcobo is evidently a busy man as he recently secured the role of Alex Shabane in Netflix’s Soon Comes Night and Zipho in Mzansi Magic telenovela Champions.
