Izingane Zes’thembu S1-2
Nominated as Most Entertaining Reality TV Show at the Behind The Scenes Awards on 9 November 2024, Izingane Zes’thembu was Mzansi Magic’s most-watched reality series in June 2024, according to The Broadcast Research Council of South Africa.
A spinoff from Uthando neS’thembu, the reality series follows businessman Musa Mseleku’s children as they navigate life within a polygamous family.
In Season 2, the Mseleku eldest children continue their journey of transitioning to young adults and forging stronger bonds. Mpumelelo, the second eldest, continues to juggle his baby mamas Vuyokazi and Tirelo, but is he mimicking his dad’s life without the right resources, or is he just “delulu”?
Mpilo is turning 21, and can’t play dumb anymore, while Lwandle unveils his true character as he refuses to be in anyone’s shadow and sets out to find love. Abongwe continues to be adamant that they all need to be closer, but her time in Johannesburg has rebuilt her confidence in who she is, and it’s time her family tags along.
