Mzansi Magic (DStv Channel 161) is dishing up a double dose of unmissable reality television this August. The channel debuts two new shows, Kwanele Bazali and Nandi & The Rev, which are set to turn Sunday evenings into an interesting ride of raw real moments that resonate. There's uncut emotion, agonising drama and compelling stories of survival and redemption in these offerings.
Premiering on Sunday, 17 August at 19:30, Kwanele Bazali explores toxic family dynamics where generations are in conflict. Words fail as unspoken pain drives loved ones further apart. Hosted by the talented Motlatsi Mafatshe, this series inspires families to confront their problems, truth-telling, healing and resolution. For those caught in the crossfire of family quarrels and silence, this show declares: “It’s time to speak.” The time for healing has come. The time to say: 'Kwanele Bazali.'
On Sunday, 24 August at 19:00, Nandi & The Rev invites viewers into the turbulent journey of Reverend Mawuzole Mlombi and his wife Nandipha. Once celebrated as the stars of the pulpit, their outwardly perfect life was destroyed when they lost both their home and sense of stability. Now, with their marriage under duress and their children’s trust hanging in the balance, they face the tremendous task of repairing their lives while the public watches closely. Driven by Nandi’s fierce tenacity and Thabo’s personal battle for redemption, the series poses a heartfelt question: can love, faith and willpower help this family find their way back to wholeness?
