e.tv viewers are preparing to say goodbye to two of the country’s most popular soapies as Scandal! and House of Zwide will both air their final episodes on Friday, 26 June 2026.
After more than two decades on screen, Scandal! Will conclude its run with a special finale titled The Final Chapter, scheduled to air at 8 pm. The long-running drama has become a household favourite since its debut in 2005, captivating audiences with its gripping storylines, shocking twists and memorable characters.
The show recently teased its final episode on social media with a cryptic message: “Let’s get your predictions… after over 20 years, how do you think we will close off #etvScandal. Hint: it won’t be a happy ending.” The accompanying promotional artwork, featuring crime scene tape and images of key characters, suggests an emotional and dramatic conclusion.
Earlier in the evening, at 7:30 pm, House of Zwide will air its final episode, appropriately titled The Final Stitch. Since its launch in 2021, the fashion-centred drama has built a loyal fan base through its blend of family conflict, romance, betrayal and high-stakes business battles.
In a farewell message to viewers, the show’s social media team wrote: “What a journey it has been. Thank you, #HouseOfZwide, for the memories and the incredible people who made every moment unforgettable.” The finale poster carries the emotional tagline: “Even the deepest tears… can be stitched closed,” hinting at a conclusion that will bring closure to many of the show’s storylines.
The departure of both productions on the same night marks the end of an era for e.tv’s weekday entertainment line-up. Together, the two programmes have entertained millions of viewers and played a significant role in shaping South Africa’s television landscape.
Fans have already flooded social media with tributes, messages of appreciation and predictions about how the stories will end. With two major finales airing back-to-back, 26 June is set to be one of the most emotional nights in e.tv history.
