Viewers of Mzansi Magic's popular reality TV show, Nandi and Rev, are demanding that the show be cancelled after the first season ended on Sunday, 16 November 2025.

The reality TV show stars businessman Nandipha Mlombi, aka Queen Nandi, and her husband, Reverend Mawuzole Mlombi.

Nandi is famously known for starring in DSTV's popular reality TV show Pastors' Wives alongside Skeem Saam actress Inno Sadiki.

Entertainment commentator Jabu McDonald shared on his X account on Sunday, 16 November 2025, that the show should not be renewed for a second season.

South Africans slam the reality TV show

@Dec_Cadence said:

"The last episode and the reconciliation were a sham. The reality continued with another eviction, live on her FB, inadvertently disclosing that the shoot was not in “their house” but, most importantly, her true colours again. She continues to dish out insults to all."

@LoloMilani replied:

"The pastor cries in all the episodes. We're good."

@52Multiplier reacted:

"During some alone time."

@LebohangSeleso1 replied:

"Even if I were to be paid 2 million to watch it, I'd rather stay penniless because I struggled watching an episode for more than 10 minutes. The trauma... Oh, those children."

"I’ve never watched even 1 episode, and I’m glad!"

@Mokgadi_PM commented:

"Finally! That man cried too much; it was unbearable to watch."

"DSTV has cancelled a lot of season 2s on most shows and telenovelas, even those that were already promised, so I hope this kaka is part of those."
