Here's what to expect

Mzansi Magic's publicist Irvin Pooe shared with Briefly News what viewers can expect in the upcoming season:

"It’s that time again! Izingane Zes’Thembu is back for Season 3 and the drama is on another level! The Mseleku siblings are in a full-on battle for love, respect and independence. But with secrets spilling and hearts being crushed, how will they achieve the peace that they all wish for?

"This season, the Mseleku siblings are giving us a deeper look into what it’s really like growing up in a household ‘yesithembu.’ The kids are all grown up now and stepping into full adulthood, building stronger connections but facing even tougher challenges along the way.

Irvin also shared what viewers can expect from Mpumelelo's never-ending love triangles:

"Mpumelelo, just like his father, is all in when it comes to ‘isithembu’ but it’s not as smooth as he hoped. He’s stuck between two women—Tirelo and a new love who’s ready to dive into the Mseleku world. Will he manage to pay ‘ilobolo’ like he plans or is he about to crash and burn?"

Phil Mphela drags MultiChoice for awarding the Mseleku family another reality show

In 2023, Entertainment commentator Phil Mphela had previously criticised MultiChoice for awarding the Mseleku family too many shows on their platform.

Mphela said the family was receiving "preferential treatment," adding it would be detrimental to the company and its channel, Mzansi Magic.

"Someone at MultiChoice must have a relationship with the Mselekus. Mzansi Magic and its sister channels have become Musa Mseleku and his family’s personal YouTube-esque channel. It’s like The Kardashians and E! back in the day, and we know how that killed that channel."
