Mzansi Wethu reality shows lineup article

Mzansi Wethu is on a fire run with lineups that include exceptional shows. It’s time to switch on opinions, take lessons, and observe the lowkey judgement and laughs that come with watching other peoples’ reality.

We are bidding October goodbye with the commencement of new and returning seasons of some of the best reality shows so be prepared to be entertained.

Ngishade Wrong 

Hosted by legal eagle Thato Mahapa, Ngishade Wrong returns for a third season and it promises more healing from heartbreak. Jaw-dropping confessions and emotional journeys will continue as couples confront the truth about their relationships. It takes a lot to realise you are with the wrong person, before searching for your soul mate. Tune in on Tuesdays at 19:00 from 28 October.

Small Claims Showdown

This show will take viewers inside a dynamic mediation room where real people bring their unresolved small claims disputes. From unpaid debts, broken agreements, relationship fallouts, and neighbourhood tensions.

The humorous media personality Alphi Mkhwanazi will serve as the intake clerk and guide for each case. Alongside him is professional legal mind, Advocate Petronella Nkosi who will be facilitating the resolution process.

Every episode will have the Commissioner offering legal insight and resolutions for everyone in order to move forward with informed decisions. Tune in Mondays at 19:00 from 27 October.

Udokotela Wethu

We will be following Dr Thabang as she transforms lives by treating rare illnesses which can also affect not just the patient’s physical appearance but their self-esteem as well. With compassion and care, she restores their dignity and delivers second chances. When hope fades, Udokotela Wethu steps in. Tune in Thursdays at 18:30 from 30 October.

The Request

The compelling documentary series, The Request, offers an in-depth exploration of the daily lives of e-hailing drivers across Mzansi. It illuminates the challenges faced by these often-overlooked individuals, who navigate the bustling streets. Each episode delves into the personal narratives of these unsung heroes, revealing not just their encounters with passengers but also their unique stories of resilience, hardship, and ambition. Viewers are drawn into their worlds, understanding the sacrifices they make to provide for their families and their dreams of a better life. Catch it every Friday at 18:30.

Youngins

A hard-hitting teen telenovela set at a boarding school in Johannesburg. When a teen flees from a family tragedy in rural KZN to a boarding school in Jozi, she finds herself entangled in a scandal of epic proportions. Tune in every Wednesday at 19:00.

Your weekdays are fully booked with the best.
