Get ready for the drama, excitement, and heartwarming moments as The Bala Family makes its much-anticipated return to Mzansi Magic this August. Rated as one of Mzansi's best reality shows, The Bala Family topped trends week after week, and this new season promises even more family drama.

Siblings Pinky, Zwai, Loyiso, and Phelo, along with their dynamic mother, Mama V, are back to share their lives with viewers. Following the passing of Tata Jafta, the beloved family matriarch, Mama Vuyiswa is on a mission to foster unity between the Bala and Jafta families in honour of his memory. This includes providing for his children and grandchildren, a decision that doesn't sit well with Zwai and Pinky.

The siblings are coming together to acquire a family home, aiming to purchase a special residence for Mama V. But there's a catch – the financial aspect of this plan is a major hurdle they need to overcome.

This season also teases the potential revival of The Bala Brothers, who haven't collaborated in years. While some family members see the group's reunion as a golden opportunity to help finance the new family home, others have different ideas, sparking even more drama.

"The first season of The Bala Family was a huge success and positively welcomed by our audience. We are excited for the second season and, in the same breath, saddened by the loss of Bab’ Jafta, who has since passed on," says Shirley Adonisi, Director for Local Entertainment Channels. "We continue to grieve with the family, honour Bab’ Jafta for his contribution to the show and dedicate this season to his memory."

There's so much more to see this season on The Bala Family. Watch as they navigate their family and individual challenges, bringing you closer to their heartfelt stories. The new season premieres on Mzansi Magic (GOtv Channel 5) from Sunday, 4 August at 19:00.
