Zambezi Magic DStv Channel 162 and GOtv Channel 3 is full of twists, drama, and those characters you just love to hate. Today, we’re shining a light on the men who embody betrayal, scandal, and all-around shadiness. They’ve managed to keep us both entertained and shouting at our screens.  

Who are the worst offenders when it comes to the most untrustworthy men on Zambezi Magic? Let’s take a closer look! 

Derrick (Mpali) 

Fraud, Forgery, and Forwarding Accusations Faster Than You Can Say “Not Guilty” 

Derrick wooed Thoko with his charm and wealth, but his source of income was murkier than muddy water. With a talent for forging documents and scamming his way to quick money, Derrick was bad news. But it was Bianca, Thoko’s “friend,” who tipped off the cops about Derrick’s illegal hustle. Instead of facing the music, Derrick tried to pin his crimes on Thoko, almost landing her in jail. Oh, and did we mention he was drugged and had a fling with Bianca? Yeah, Derrick’s the kind of guy who brings a bag of popcorn to a fire he started. 

Shadreck (Mpali) 

The Nephew Who Thinks Wives Are Fair Game 

Shadreck didn’t just bite the hand that fed him—he practically devoured the whole arm when he fell for his uncle Nguzu’s youngest wife, Tamara. It didn’t stop at sneaky glances and late-night talks; they’re now expecting a child. Family gatherings will never be the same, and there’s a new saying on the farm: “Lock up your wives, Shadreck’s around!” 

Thuso (Zuba) 

The Friend You Wish You Never Had 

Zack may not have had a way with words, but his friend Thuso certainly did. After pretending to be Zack to win over Natasha’s heart, Thuso fell for her himself, throwing the “bro code” out the window. He even stole Zack’s phone to keep up the charade. We were just waiting for Zack to realize who his real competition is. 

Dante (Zuba) 

The Disappearing Act, Starring Your Bank Account 

Dante didn’t just double-cross Juba’s company—he stole every penny and vanished, leaving a trail of destruction behind him. He even managed to manipulate Sylvia into ruining Juba’s reputation. Dante’s the kind of guy who’d rob a bank, and then call you to brag about it. 

Zack (Zuba) 

Smooth Talker or Smooth Criminal? 

Zack wasn’t interested in Natasha’s heart, just her… well, let’s keep it PG. He manipulated Thuso into wooing Natasha on his behalf, knowing he had zero intentions of anything serious. When she uncovered his true intentions, Zack’s smooth-talking days were numbered. 

Smart Jere (Mpali) 

The Man, The Myth, The Scandal 

Mr. Jere may have shown up on the farm in good spirits, but behind that cheerful facade is a man who fled a burning family home, courtesy of some seriously angry villagers. He’s clearly good at making friends… and even better at making enemies. 

Prince (Zuba) 

Charming or Chilling? 

Prince’s interest in Njenje’s business turned dark quickly. He was no entrepreneur—he was a ritualist planning to sacrifice her. The cemetery date night was the last straw, but luckily, Fanwell saved the day. Note to self: “rich guy with a mysterious side” may not always be a good thing.
