The addition will happen this July

Since the lockdown has began, the viewership for Moja Love has been interesting. Shows like Uyajola 9/9, Single and Mingle, The Way Nginakhona etc. have definitely kept the viewers watching and the numbers keep growing.

However, it wouldn't be pleasant to keep on watching repeats because of content not being available so is the next resort movies ? Old movies perhaps ? This could be interesting.

The Way Ngingakhona has pulled of 826K views just in season 1. The reunion show special hosted by Nomsa Buthelezi has been rated number 3 on the channel behind Mamazala 1,02 million and Single And Mingle at number 1 with 1.01 million viewers.

Hopefully with the movies coming to Moja Love, the views will remain like that.
