Tuesday's episode of SABC2's Xitsonga drama series, Giyani, will be longer to add the missing part not broadcast on Monday due to technical problems.

Following unexplained technical playout problems on Monday night with the episode of its Xitsonga drama series, Giyani - Land of Blood, SABC tells TVwithThinus it will add the part that not shown to Tuesday night's episode.

On Monday night SABC2 viewers noticed that the last part of the Giyani episode wasn't shown. The episode was also not made available on YouTube. SABC2 didn't explain what went wrong beyond generically citing technical problems.

SABC2 told TVwithThinus on Tuesday in response to a media enquiry that the missing part of Monday's Giyani episode will be included in Tuesday's episode.

"The segment that didn't play, will play out tonight, therefore Tuesday's episode will be longer," said Caroline Phalakatshela, SABC2 publicist.
