The latest episode of Muvhango bids farewell to one of its most iconic characters, Chief Azwindinni Gandamipfa Mukwevho, portrayed by Gabriel Temudzani. This follows the heartbreaking scene where viewers of the hit television Soapie were left in shock after witnessing the tragic demise of Azwindinni in the most recent episode that aired on Friday, May 5th, 2023.
Chief Azwindinni, a much-respected leader was set aflame by Tenda who is avenging himself to all that put him in jail. The untimely death of the chief will leave the Mukwevho clan in shock and mourning and bring along with it a wave family drama expected to lead to chaos in the royal house.
The royal family will now be faced with the daunting task of navigating the aftermath of this tragedy, which is sure to be a challenging and emotional process. Tenda’s kidnapping of Susan (portrayed by Maumela Mahuwa) was the first domino in a chain reaction that ultimately led to the Chief’s death. After then, Tenda tampered with evidence to frame Azwindinni for Susan’s disappearance.
He then planned for Azwindinni to be arrested, but police were taken aback when DNA evidence established his innocence and no warrant had been issued for his arrest. This allowed Tenda to bring the chief into his presence before his ex-wife and the mother of his children, where he executed him ruthlessly.
“Life is a collective and it’s well lived when it’s shared” says Gabriel Temudzani, who plays the role of Azwindinni. “The Chief of Thathe shall live forever”, he adds. The great Chief of Thathe is set to be laid to rest later in the month of May in accordance with the Royal family customs.
