Confirmed! Mzansi Magic's The Road canned

Johannesburg- It has been confirmed that Mzansi Magic's telenovela, The Road will come to an end in March. 

The news comes just over four months after the show hit TV screens across the country. 

At the end of last year there was widespread speculation that the show was not raking in the ratings. At the time, Mzansi was vague about speculation that the telenovela would end earlier than planned because of the massive dip in numbers, only saying that viewers would still enjoy more episodes.(Read more on that here

While a telenovela does have an end date, it's believed that a drop in numbers saw that date pushed forward. In a statement to The Juice , Mzansi Magic publicity manager, Bongiwe Potelwa confirmed the news. 

"Mzansi Magic can confirm that the Telenovela “The Road” will draw to a close in March 2016. The storyline will escalate to a big climax, with the murder mystery unfolding with dramatic twists and turns. Audiences have appreciated this ground breaking drama that in many ways was a first for South African television and has kept viewers glued to their screens."

The last episode airs on 31 March at 8pm.
