Fans had mixed reactions to the trailer. While some joked about the cast and wished Lwandle’s pregnant girlfriend would appear, others debated which Mseleku siblings deserve more screen time. Several viewers, however, praised Musa Mseleku for creating opportunities for his children through the reality TV franchise.
Here are some of the comments:
@MaNkums said:
“I don’t like TikTok comments; someone said Abongwe ngathi umfazi ka Undertaker and I can’t unsee it 😭”
@ma68390 remarked:
“Missed opportunity where’s Lwandle’s rude girlfriend, the one who was pregnant? She looked like she’d make good TV that one!”
@Water03S suggested:
“The show rotating around Mpumelelo and Sne.🤚🏻 At least Lwandle shared his life last season. Mpilo and Abongwe shouldn’t even be part of it.”
@ItsSmashh_ gushed:
“I honestly love what Mseleku did with his kids; this is cool.”
