On Tuesday 24 November, Muvhango averaged an AR of 20.2, or 6,796,000 viewers, the highest average viewership for an episode of the show since TVSA began compiling TAMS data in 2006.
The biggest storylines over this time involved Thandaza, Shonisani and Mulalo’s affair and the threat of the return of Teboho.
