According to the show’s promotional material, the new season will focus on healing, rebuilding trust and navigating life after the challenges that unfolded in season one. 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.

“Yoh! Our anger is going to be provoked. Can we just have Mseleku back?” commented one X user.

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.”

“Actually need to be on ashwagandha when watching this,” added one more.
