SABC2 announced the cancellation of the show on May 6.
Produced by Tswelopele productions and the brainchild of Pieter Cilliers, the show hit TV screens on March 17, 1998 at 7.30pm.

Gerhard Pretorius, SABC2 channel head, said the decision to cancel the show was a hard but necessary one due to the introduction of a new channel line-up.
