Viewers are complaining that Faith Zwide's story line portrayed by renowned actress Winnie Ntshaba sounds a little too familiar. As she falls from grace, living at the Zwide mansion after all it is said and done she heads back to the township to rebuild.

This particular story line has hit a soft spot with the viewers as they feel as though it has been played out too many times on many Mzansi's telenovela's. Taking to Twitter, entertainment commentator Phil Mphela has strike a nerve with some of House of Zwide's viewers as he complains about Faith Zwide's recycled story line.

"Mara House of Zwide, This Faith falls from grace … she loses everything, leaves the mansion and returns to Tembisa is way too familiar. It been done on The River. Thati on Gomora’s anchor story is the same" wrote entertainment commentator Phil Mphela
Viewers could not agree more with Phil Mphela, as they took under his comment to voice their dissatisfaction and outcry of this particular story line. Some of Mzansi's hit telenovela's have played the estranged wife going back to basis after separating from rich husband and left in ruins.

"Recycling of storyline. SA writers lack creativity" wrote MC JHB
"I'm gonna say what everyone is afraid to say, House of Zwide has terrible actors. They acting like they ain't got no script" wrote Makhubo
"All these things are the same nothing new here even a new show will come up with a similar story" wrote Lindani Junior Gumede
"This is what happens when the same people write for different shows or when they take one writer from one show to another. Nothing really changes but the name of the show" wrote Karabo M
Some viewers are more upset at some of Mzansi's creatives, whom they believe tends to write different shows for different channels. Evidently, lines are always bound to be blurred when the same people are the head writers of some of these telenovela's and series.

"It may be relative to SA's reality but did not even 1 out of all them, stop and say "maara eintlik no guys. Let's wait a bit, we have seen this far too many a times" wrote Thabond
On Mzansi Magic's Gomora, Thati played by Katlego Danke also fell from grace when she separated from her Bank CEO husband. Viewers saw Thati going back home to Gomora to work at a family business in order to rebuild.
