Brutus, Maswabi, Mandla and Mziwoxolo: Same WhatsApp group!

Uncle, malume or bab’omncane, these favourite Mzansi telenovela uncles have captured our hearts in more ways than one.

Here's some of our favourite moments of them:

Take Isibaya’s bab’omncane Mandla Ndlovu, for instance. He’s always ready to pick a fight, especially with the Zungu’s. But who could ever forget when we saw a different side, a softer side to him, that time he convinced his daughter, Ntwenhle not to leave eBhubesini.

Now, The Throne’s malume Maswabi is a respectable man who sits in the Kweneng Royal Council. We love how he came up with the craziest pet-names for Odirile (“Diri-Baby”) and Moseki (“Seki-Seki”) but we all know his loyalty lies with the one who “coughs up the dough,” LOL!

You know it’s about to get lit the minute bab’omncane Brutus opens his mouth! But who could ever forget that day he got us in our feels, when his son, Bhekumuzi passed away? The chest pains!  

        

As the head of The Queen’s Mabuza family, uncle Mziwoxolo is always doing the right thing and following tradition. But we won’t forget the day all that went out the window, when he tried to hit on Petronella! Out the window, his morals went, LOL! 

You know them, you love them. Which other moment with these Mzansi uncles stands out as your best by far?  

Tune in to Mzansi Magic weekdays between 7pm and 9pm to catch our faves at their best!
