‘Nothing medical about that show’, Mzansi rejoices as Durban Gen gets cancelled.
Durban Gen hit our screens in 2020 as a hot new medical drama series which is one of its kind on Mzansi television. The telenovela has been through high and low phases with its viewers. Like many others, when the series began, its storyline had viewers hooked on their screens and interested in the actors. However, the medical telenovela is being cancelled, and the reaction of Mzansi is one that’s bound to shock Stained Glass.
Entertainment news reporter Phil Mpela has shared on Twitter that Durban Gen is cancelled. The drama series will stop showing on the 23rd of January next year. The reasons behind the cancellation are yet to be announced. However, many viewers are sure that television channels have realised that viewers now like short drama series compared to telenovelas.

In the wake of the news being revealed, fans have shown so much joy to the bad news. According to several Tweeps, the show was boring and done with little to no research in the medical field. Fans are saying the storylines were good, but the show was terrible when t comes to medical issues. The writers are accused of not having done research or consultations with medical practitioners.

Other Tweeps say the show would never have been a success as they hired actors from Uzalo. The public seems to agree that Uzalo is not a great telenovela. Some viewers are questioning why they did not cancel Uzalo and Generations first.
Many telenovelas may be cancelled, with fans calling for Muvhango, Uzalo, and House of Zwide to go. However, even if most Twitter users are rejoicing, some feel sorry for the actors. After a show is cancelled, most actors find themselves out of work, which can be a problem in their competitive industry.
