I really Love Muvhango, it is the only drama on Sa t.v. that truly reflects the african experience, and does it well. You can tell the writers thoroughly research the issues and reflect them well. It is also commendable that there is a prime time show that reflects real moral values, they should actually drop it to 20:00! I never see any drinking, bar-hopping, bed-hopping and vulgar langauge whereasin on a prime time soapie that I will not mention, everybody uses the bar as a counselling forum.
For instance Ive watched some dramas and soapies where, the character gets mad, angry, or frustrated and then anounces "Thats it I need a drink" what message are we sending to our youth? Then when they abuse alcohol because theyve been shown its a way to release stress, then we wonder where they got it from.
Apart from that Muvhango is the first medium to educate, us the viewers about the Venda people and culture. It has done great wonders for Venda. Before that how much did we really know about Venda?
