Despite his Muvhango character now being killed off, Temudzani will forever be known by many as Chief Azwindini.
In a statement shared by the show, Chief Azwindini will be set aflame in tonight’s episode by Tenda, who is avenging himself to all who put him in jail. The untimely death of the chief will leave the entire family in shock and mourning. There will also be chaos in the royal house as expected.
