Mixed Emotions Over Tshedza Pictures New TV Series 'Outlawz'

Mixed emotions following the announcement about Tshedza Pictures bagging another television series. Phathu Makwarela and Gwydion Beynon are not getting the love as tweeps are slamming them for producing recycled content.

Mzansi’s screenwriting power due Phathu Makwarela and Gwydion Beynon are under fire following the news about their upcoming new TV series. Tshedza Pictures have written and produced some of Mzansi’s most loved and watched television shows including The River, Gqeberha The Empire, to name a few.

Entertainment Commentator Phil Mphela’s announcement about the Tshedza Pictures bagging Showmax original series was met with a tough crown on Twitter. This is certainly not the first time the Tshedza Pictures are coming under fire for almost the similar reason where claims over recycled content and same story lines.

“TV: Tshedza Pictures bags another series Phathu Makwarela & Gwydion Beynon’s company will drop another Showmax Original series this year. OUTLAWZ — a cross-cultural love story set in the world of cattle theft syndicates, on the border between Lesotho & KZN.” wrote entertainment commentator Phil Mphela

However, it appears viewers are certainly not jumping for joy about the new series the production house is working on. Viewers have expressed concerns over the same and recycled story lines from the power duo, Phathu Makwarela and Gwydion Beynon.

Others scores of viewers have raised concerns of having the similar production houses producing for TV. The Ferguson Films has had its fair share of backlash when viewers where just about enough of their content. However, Phathu Makwarela and Gwydion Beynon are in their bag and nothing seems to be slowing them down.
