Queen Modjaji: Behind The Numbers And What's Next
- Mzansi Magic’s show Queen Modjaji continues to struggle with viewership this month.
- Duma Ndlovu's production missed the Top 30 most-watched shows list again.
- Briefly News sheds light on the final episode airing on Sunday, 29 September 2024.
Listen up, folks. If you’ve been keeping an eye on the latest drama in the TV world, you know that Mzansi Magic’s Queen Modjaji, produced by Duma Ndlovu, hasn’t exactly set the ratings charts on fire. This month was no different, and it’s got people talking. Let’s break it down.
Queen Modjaji: Struggling to Make the Cut
Here’s the deal: Queen Modjaji, Mzansi Magic’s historical drama, didn’t make the Top 30 most-watched TV shows for the month. Not only that, but the show also saw a significant drop in viewership during August 2024. That’s a tough pill to swallow for fans and creators alike. Entertainment commentator Jabu Macdonald didn’t mince words when he shared the news on his Twitter (X) page. He laid it out plain and simple:
“Mzansi Magic’s new historical drama series ‘Queen Modjadji’ faced the biggest decline in viewership in August 2024 and, unfortunately, didn’t make the top 30 most-watched shows of the month.”

Now, before we jump to conclusions, let’s hear from the team behind the scenes. On behalf of Mzansi Magic, Junior PR Specialist Petunia Maota spoke with Briefly News about what fans can expect in the season finale airing on Sunday, 29 September 2024. Here’s what she had to say:
“In the dramatic season finale of Queen Modjadji on Sunday, 29 September at 20:00, we’ll witness the culmination of long-standing tensions and conflicts. Queen Modjadji will face the ultimate test of her leadership as she confronts both internal and external threats to her reign. It’s going to be a must-watch conclusion!”
Entertainment commentator Mlungisi Mbokazi also weighed in, offering some insights into why the show hasn’t been resonating with audiences the way they hoped. He shared with Briefly News:
“The show hasn’t been performing as well as expected. People were hoping for something as captivating and polished as Shaka iLembe. Many viewers have complained about the pacing—some scenes feel stretched out, and the storyline hasn’t been as straightforward as it could be. Still, there’s hope that the season finale will leave a lasting impression as the series wraps up this month.”
Sibongile and the Dlaminis: A Bright Spot for Mzansi Wethu
Why This Show Is Winning Hearts
While Queen Modjaji struggles to find its footing, another South African drama is stealing the spotlight. Briefly News reported earlier that Mzansi Wethu has a new hit on its hands with Sibongile and the Dlaminis. This telenovela has quickly become the channel’s most-viewed show, raking in millions of views. Why is it so popular? Well, it tells the relatable story of Sibongile Mbambo, a domestic worker striving for a better life while navigating the glamorous yet complicated world of the Dlamini family, who live in a luxurious mansion. Viewers love the drama, the twists, and the characters—they just can’t get enough!
So, as the TV landscape continues to evolve, it’s clear that audiences crave compelling stories that resonate with them. While Queen Modjaji faces challenges, Sibongile and the Dlaminis reminds us that great storytelling never goes out of style. Here’s to hoping both shows continue to grow and inspire in their own unique ways!
