After keeping South African reality television alive on Uthando Nesthembu, the Mseleku children have switched lanes to the third season of their equally popular show, Izingane Nesthembu, in hopes of keeping their fans entertained.
When it comes to providing quality, entertaining reality TV, the Mseleku family has proven that they come second to no one, as the eighth season of their popular show Uthando Nesthembu had viewers glued to their screens all season long. Taking the reins from Uthando Nesthembu, the Mseleku children have returned with a third season of Izingane Zesthembu, where viewers get to know them a little more, without the focus being on their parents as well.
With Izingane Zesthembu making a return, there are a few storylines and plots that viewers have revealed to be eagerly excited about this season. From Mpumelelo trying to navigate his complicated love life, which seems to mirror that of his father, all the way to Sne’s conundrum of trying to belong, and fighting for her family’s acceptance, this season is shaping up to bring unprecedented drama and chaos, and fans are here for all of it.
This third season is set to come with some heat, as the first episode has already got viewers talking, revealing that there is much to look forward to this season. At the top of the list, it appears that Mpumelelo, who is popularly known as Sbindi, is set on following in his father’s footsteps, as they have been dropping hints that he is looking to take a wife before taking Tirelo as one, causing some friction and tension.
Furthermore, it appears that some focus will go towards Mpilo’s challenges with her surname and issues with her maternal family, as they appear to be causing challenges that will hinder her from fully adopting her father’s surname.
