One of the longest-running television series in South Africa, Muvhango is a multi-lingual soap opera that first aired in April 1997. The show revolves around the lives of the members of the royal Mukwevho family.<\/p>\n
Set in the fictional rural village of Thathe and the metropolis of Johannesburg, the series focuses on family values as it explores the differences between the traditional ways of living and beliefs and that of the modern way of life in urban settlements. It is built on the premise that human beings all exist within a context.<\/p>\n
Having originally aired as a Tshivenda language drama, show creator Duma Ndlovu opted to incorporate other languages in order to showcase that languages and cultures of South Africa should be used to unite all South African people rather than divide them.<\/p>\n
The premiere episode of Muvhango centered on the life of Mashudu Mukwevho, a well-established businessman who was on his way to becoming the chief of his community. Unfortunately, Mashudu ended up dying of a heart attack, causing mayhem in his home as a struggle ensued between his two wives and other family members.<\/p>\n
The commotion was, however, particularly between his two wives; Vho-Masindi (his traditional customary wife) and Catherine (his legally married wife) who struggled over who had the rights to their husband’s body and who would bury him. The season ended with numerous court cases between the pair as the funeral ended up being called off due to some mystery regarding Mashudu\u2019s coffin.<\/p>\n
The subsequent episodes and seasons saw more conflicts between the wives, family, and children as they moved on from fighting for Mashudu\u2019s body to fighting over his estate and heir to the throne.<\/p>\n
In recent times, the show centers around Mukwevho family patriarch and village chief Azwindini Mukwevho who had inherited the throne with the blessing of the ancestors. He, however, finds himself in a never-ending battle to keep his throne and family together as his younger brother Mulalo Mukweho proves to be at times his biggest ally or greatest foe.<\/p>\n
