This is GOLD 🙌.
We are not celebrating the fall of #TheQueenMzansi we are celebrating the rise of #umkhokha and a huge thank you to the viewers who watched because now we can boldly say there is a market for short series (10-15 episodes) & we have numbers to back us up ❤️🙏 https://t.co/yahXWCplwJ— Bekithemba Zulu 🇿🇦 (@BekithembaZ) January 14, 2022
