Per the statement,” DiepCity has always been envisaged to be two years production [sic] in partnership with Mzansi Magic and now the contract is nearing its end. A deliberate and strategic move by Mzansi Magic, to offer viewers a dynamic show that would keep them glued to their screens and secure that slot.”
Soon enough, the Twitter streets became flooded with sadness and outrage over the cancellation:

@tshifaromurovhi reckoned that a show like “Gomora” should’ve gotten canned instead:

And then there were tweeps like @SimthoBiyela and @moeketsisimarupi2 who were glad that “DiepCity” was going down:

All this led @TboozaSA to lament about the quality of our homegrown productions, prompting @AmuBasa2 to chime in about their writing standards:
