Mzansi Magic has pulled the plug on its 9pm daily drama Gqeberha: The Empire after two years.
The telenovela that depicts themes of dynasty, family, love, betrayal, polygamy and jealousy will conclude after the current second season.
Premised in the Eastern Cape, the show is helmed by Tshedza Pictures, the same production company that has anchored The River, Champions, Adulting, Youngins and Outlaws.
The show when it premiered last year in January introduced Mzansi to fresh-faced actor and former SMag cover star Tembinkosi Ngcukana. The star-studded cast also included Bongile Mantsai, Zikhona Sodlaka, Mbulelo Grootboom, Oros Mampofu, Anele Matoti, Kay Bikitsha and Zandile Msutwana.
