Another show whose future hangs in the balance is The River. The storyline is not impressing viewers and writers have been sent back to the drawing board.

A number of Twitter users have been complaining about the repetitive storyline and it seems actors are slowly noticing that the ship is about to sink. The River used to be one of Mzansi’s most watched and favourite TV shows, but lately viewers have been dragging it on social media.

“Season 6 of The River should be the last. They should go all out and produce the best season of the entire run. Fight for money to blow up the mansion is the must.Tshedza is working on a new project anyway so they can afford to let go of The River,” wrote Phil MpheLa.

Others have even stopped watching the show until writers do justice. “A week ago, I chose peace and self-love and removed The River from my “Continue watching” list. Maybe November will make more sense. Will reconsider then, because wow what a joke it has become,” she wrote.
