Muvhango
South African Television Soap Opera
Muvhango is a South African television soap opera, created by Duma Ndlovu. It was broadcast on the public TV channel SABC 2, and had an average of 4 million daily viewers during its latter run before its conclusion.[1] The first episode was aired on 7 April 1997.

The show has strong family orientated storylines that seeks to speak to the conflict between the traditional and the modern ways.

In 2006 the series was nominated for the South African Film and Television Award for best soap opera.[4]
