The heat is turned all the way up on Mzansi Magic (DStv channel 161) and Mzansi Wethu (DStv channel 163) this week. It’s all about family feuds, courtroom shenanigans plus complicated matters of the heart in the premiere Monday night mini-series Love at Second Sight.
Here’s what’s coming up this week:
Mzansi Highlights Update 11-17 May 2026
INIMBA – Mon-Fri @ 20:30
This week on Inimba, Qhawe (Ayakha Ntunja) confronts the truth, and it hits harder than expected. Azande (Siya Raymond) fights for his life and the power that comes with it. Meanwhile, the Mabandlas put their hopes on Zethu (Mpumie Khuzwayo) as the pressure mounts and what’s been building between Xolani (Ayanda Dawethi) and her can no longer be denied. The Mabandlas walk into a hearing that could change their lives forever and Zethu throws a spanner in the works that could ruin everything for the Zondos.

HOMECOMING – Mon–Fri @ 18:30
This week on Homecoming, Zethu (Six Nyamane) is finally out of the Kubheka house and MaNkwanyane (Shine Madela) is hopeful that normality will be restored. Mandla’s (Sithembiso Zungu) attempt to distract Phindile (Samkelisiwe Hlophe) from his secret causes more harm than good. Mfundisi (Lancelot Khumalo) brushes off Shobane’s accusations, but finds renewed resolve from an unexpected source. While Sifiso (Thembinkosi Mthembu) dreams of a new home with Zethu, MaNkwanyane’s heart breaks, and Mandla’s most private problem lands on Matron Khathazile’s (Khombi Phetla) lap.

LAW, LOVE & BETRAYAL S2
Episode 11: Sunday, 17 May: EX TEMPORE (On the spur of the moment)

Monday Mini-Series
Love at Second Sight – Monday 11 May @ 19:00
Love at Second Sight tells the story of Lihle (Amanda Seome), who is engaged to be married to Philani (Nduduzo Zuma) only for her ‘long-lost first love’ Manqoba (Aluve Mjali) to return as her fiancé’s best friend. Caught between the man who represents stability and the one who awakens a version of herself she thought she lost, she has to choose — not between two men, but between the life she was supposed to live and the life she truly wants.
