Local soapies Muvhango and Imbewu the seed are set for a huge battle for viewer’s on the 9pm time slot. This comes after Etv earlier on Friday announced that the much popular Imbewu will be moving from it’s current time slot of 9:30PM to an earlier time slot of 9PM, this changes will take place from the 11th of April. When it came to the 9PM time slot Mzansi magic soapie The Queen used to own the this time slot, but now that The Queen has lost it’s viewer’s and will be coming to an end in January next year, the imbewu team must have seen an opportunity to claim that slot. But that won’t be easy because Muvhango has long been on the 9PM time slot for year’s and won’t back down without a fight.

Muvhango which at one stage lost a lot of viewer’s and was once reduced to three episodes per week and at once it was rumoured that the soapie was gonna be shut down, but has since turned things around and it’s viewer’s have increased. For Imbewu though they should hope that this doesn’t backfire badly for them, because they have viewer’s who watch Muvhango and now that they will be playing at the same time, they should hope most viewers don’t choose to watch Muvhango.
