It is reported that the Executive was not pleased with the sudden slump.

Yes, there are issues of concern with Uzalo because of its dwindling numbers. We have received complaints from viewers who said the storyline was now boring. We urged the producers to come up with creative storylines to rescue the soapie because it was important to the SABC.

Another thing we emphasised was that actors need to be paid decent salaries for their work.”
