Mzansi Magic is about to shake up your reality TV experience with Matshai Sisters, a trailblazing new show that dives deep into the lives of five unforgettable sisters.
This groundbreaking reality show takes you inside a whirlwind of family drama, fierce battles, and a chilling curse that threatens to tear them apart. These bold sisters are anything but shy! Their candidness and clashes promise to deliver a viewing experience that’s as riveting as it is relatable.
“While Mzansi Magic has explored many family themes, Matshai Sisters is a game-changer with its focus on an all-female household. This show offers a unique perspective on how women navigate family dynamics without male figures and is sure to strike a chord with our viewers," says Shirley Adonisi, Director of Local Entertainment Channels.
Meet the Matshai family:
Thoko (43): The fiery eldest who’s convinced their family is cursed and is on a mission to heal their fractured bonds.
Phumzile (41): She feels like she sacrificed for the family and raised herself. It’s her time now!
Twins Zanele & Zandile (35): The spirited duo whose close-knit bond creates both unity and chaos.
Busi (25): The youngest sister, whose arrival has only fueled the family’s explosive conflicts.
Ntombi Matshai (68), She is the mother and at the center of it all! Forever caught in the storm of her daughters' relentless disputes.
The series kicks off with Thoko’s firm belief that their constant bickering stems from a family curse. Determined to find resolution, she calls a long-overdue family meeting, hoping to bring them together for the first time in years.
Deep-seated resentment towards their late father also lingers, as they believe his failure to honor traditional customs, like ‘ukuhlawula’ for four of the five daughters, may be contributing to the misfortunes that plague their lives. Will the Matshai sisters manage to break the curse and rebuild their bonds?
Tune in to Matshai Sisters and follow their journey towards healing and self-discovery, premiering in November.
