Izingane Zes'thembu 2
Channel: Mzansi Magic (DStv 161)
TX Time: 19h00
Genre: Reality
This show is an in-depth look into the lives of the Mseleku older children and the challenges they face as they strive to carve their own identity.
The series features renowned polygamist Musa Mseleku's five older children.
Gain a fresh and relatable look inside the lives of the Mseleku children, as the siblings share their struggles and triumphs of working towards defining themselves.
This show is a look at their lives as they try to find their place in the world.
Izingane Zes'thembu follows the children's struggles and triumphs, allowing viewers to gain an insight into the complexities of growing up in a polygamous family through the eyes of the next generation of the Mseleku family.
In this second season, the Mseleku eldest children continue their journey of transitioning to young adults and forging stronger bonds.
Last season saw Mpumelelo, the second eldest, trying to walk in his father's footsteps by 'juggling' two women – Vuyokazi and Tirelo - whom he said would be part of his isithembu arrangement and both of whom ended the season expectant in more ways than one.
He has been claiming readiness for marriage, for more girlfriends and more wives – but the question is, looking at his current family dynamics – can he see the cracks?
This is the season the Mseleku father and son duo will be challenged, and their views put to the test – how honest is Bab' Mseleku about polygamy and its demands and responsibilities?
Is Mpumelelo mimicking his Dad's life without the right resources or is he just 'delulu'?
Mpilo Mseleku, who is turning 21, is forced to come out of her shell this season and will be unable to play dumb anymore.
We will see more of her at school and how she deals with relationships outside of her siblings.
Plus, with her turning 21, there are certain cultural expectations she will be confronted with. Is she ready?
Last season Lwandle gave snippets of who he is and this time, he takes the lead and unveils his true character – he is the star of the show and refuses to be under anyone's shadow.
We will get to explore him outside of Mpumelelo as well as his romantic side as he sets out on a journey to finding love.
Abongwe, who is considered 'the glue' of the siblings, continues to be adamant that they all need to be closer.
This season she reveals a bit more about her sexuality as she has regained a lot of confidence during her time in Johannesburg.
She owns who she is and believes it's time her family tags along.
And let's not forget Mpumelelo's girlfriends and baby mamas, Vuyokazi and Tirelo.
How will they cope with each other, and the decisions undertaken by Mpumelelo because mans has been talking a different game to what they both expected?
It's a whole lot of questions that need answers going into Season2.
Will there be resolve that sees these siblings come together and also manage to triumphantly work out their individual challenges?
