SABC2 also filmed a behind-the-scenes insert of the Muvhango photo shoot as daytime filler which was shown on SABC2 shortly after the photo shoot. Muvhango remains the number one show on SABC2 in terms of viewership. Of course when I asked for this new Muvhango photo since I immediately saw it on television, SABC2 didn't want to release it. I was told the photo must first appear on billboards - despite it being taken as a publicity photo shoot. I was told I'll get it as soon as it's allowed. Of course I didn't. Of course I kept asking. Of course nothing happened.
Anyway, now it's available. Months later. So now finally I can actually tell viewers and readers about a somewhat passe photo shoot.
''What we went for is very old school, old Hollywood glamour style,'' said Mpumi Ntintili-Sinxoto, stylist at that time. ''We went very high glam in terms of the dresses that we put on the girls. For the guys we went for a clean black and white look. We went for very high glam.''
We wanted to bring in something new this year,'' said Zandile Nkonyeni, SABC2 head of publicity at that time - although it's now the end of August. ''We wanted to do a shoot with them this year – highly glamourised. Powerful, beautiful, and also telling a story that also is a reflection what Muvhango is all about. Muvhango is a beautiful and powerful story,'' she said.
