Reverend Mlombi also reflects on rebuilding his life and ministry after stepping away from his previous position, while the couple continues raising their large family.

Social media remains divided

When popular entertainment commentator Phil Mphela took to social media to share news of the show’s return, internet users displayed different reactions.

Others expressed support for the family’s journey, while some voiced out their criticism as they felt the first season was too emotionally intense and should not continue.

Wishing the family well, another said, “Shame, may God restore him so that he can be a provider and good father to those kids, hope the wife also takes an introspection. She needs to change her attitude towards this man.”
