Fans up in arms over 'nonsense' Uzalo blunder
Angry Uzalo fans took to social media to vent their frustration over a mix up at the SABC, which saw Uzalo repeat Tuesday's episode on Wednesday night.
The drama series, which is one of the most watched shows in Mzansi, topped the Twitter trends list for all the wrong reasons when fans reacted to the repeat by posting memes and jokes about the mishap.

Their anger was fueled by the show not acknowledging the fault on social media, instead posted a teaser of why fans should watch the episode.
A well-placed source told TshisaLIVE that the error happened at the SABC, after a mix up in their scheduling.
SABC spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago promised to find out the reason for the mix-up but said when similar incidents had happened in the past, it had been found to be a human error.
