SABC announces an end to Giyani Land of Blood and people are upset

Celebrated XiTsonga series is coming to an end soon and people are not sure how to act.

Making the announcement, SABC 2 said the show, which aired three times a week, was a telenovela due to end anyway.

The last episode will air on November 26.

According to the channel, a new show has already been lined up to replace the show, which had an all-star cast.

About the show:

It all started with the return of the stolen land, including a farm back to the community of Risinga, who have chosen to rename the farm – Tiakeni, a Xitsonga word for build yourself.

Even though the land around Giyani is not fertile enough to have a thriving banana plantation, the gods have been kind to the village of Risinga by giving it fertile land.

It is on this fertile land that during the native land act, a huge section of the fertile land was grabbed by the regime government and sold to the Van Reenen family – who for generations have cultivated the most scrumptious bananas in the North.  Those bananas have found their way into all major supermarkets in South Africa and some parts of Southern Africa.

Risinga is a fictional village just on the outskirts of Giyani.

Fans of the show have come out in its defence calling for the channel to keep it running.

Some have even campaigned for a petition-signing against the show’s canning.

One of the leads on the show and renowned actor, Fumani Shilubana thanked the channel for supporting and saying yes to the show.
