I think Zwai can't relate to his brothers as a sibling because he always speaks to them from a place of authority just like Sis Pinky. It might be the reason him and his brothers aren't so close.

[@isaiahsixty]

I hope we can all learn the danger of abandoning our duty as parents instead of burdening the elder siblings. How can u relate to the person u raised as your child to just change and treat him/ her like a sibling all of a sudden. Zwai's entitlement comes from a place of I've bent over backwards for you guys. My heart bleeds when I see things turn out pear shaped... That's the pain of any parent

[@nondwenyembezi7017]

Your critical thinking and insight into this family dynamics is on point, the sad part is you can give so much to your sibling)s not expecting anything in return just accountability for their own goals, even that will be turned against u. wish zwai and pinky can just realise that it's time to redirect their attention and love to themselves and their kids

[@tembelanidyantyi4325]

Zwai is very outspoken, hence so people assume he's "on his extremes," I understand him well, he hides no cards on his chest, keep it up Zwai, I trust individuals like you, you buy no faces.

[@nobantumarele9028]

Ohhh ndiyathanda shame u Zwaii kunye no Pink

[@siphokazinkosini4531]

Can I respectfully disagree with you? Zwai still thinks he's still raising them and they owe him. All I'm saying in short he must let go and respect Loyiso's wife. Baphi abafazi abakhe?

[@tembelanidyantyi4325]

That was my own assumption, as much as your own, that is how I perceive, as much as you do, no argument about it, ok, and thank you so much.

[@lungiswahalimanamhlahlo8742]

I now understand why Jane doesn't get along with her in-laws, the anger and the hurt I see in Loyiso's eyes says a lot. I think the best way to solve the problem is for Zwai and Pinky must allow their siblings to do whatever they wanna without them being involved.

[@nellydyaloyi5028]

Ewe👌

[@Roxyjames2904]

If you love your siblings you give them true love you don't pretend that's what Pinky and Zwai are doing abacengi kuthandwa which is that what I love about them

[@daniellamasuku8300]

What I'm seeing here is Zwai being too much in the siblings space, he should allow others to live their lives just like he is living his, without anyone involved or throwing critics, big brother duties my foot.

[@Kleafieslays]

Jen*

[@thembelihlemeje3497]

Zwai is very open about his feelings.

[@laromolala4895]

Yhuuuu shem I love how authentic Zwai is, but at times it gets too much, because the ppl who he is trying so hard for are so over him. I used to be a Zwai until i backed off and im at peace. Even in my inlaws i have my comments here and there but i realised minding my own business is really good. Its draining to be strict, ppl end up hating because you come of as a miserable person. So Zwai makayeke, aphume naku Jen yhuuuu

[@abigailcona7352]

ahahhaha😍😍😍 mna shewm ndiyamthanda uZwai- doesn't buy faces

[@lusandakunene7619]

I just love how authentic Zwai is man and how he loves his brothers, especially the little one because he raised him so he can’t help himself but to intervene. Noma bengamfuni kangakanani ezindabeni zabo, ukugcineni uzongena

[@nomagugumwedzi]

But having raised someone doesn't mean one has to be soooo controlling like Zwai.

[@lusandakunene7619]

@@nomagugumwedzi it’s a natural reaction which needs to be tamed

[@Wyntah888]

I think Zwai raised these guys..that’s why he speaks to them like his kids 😅

[@neriayose1126]

He did

[@nondwenyembezi7017]

Totally

[@ongeziwesiboyana7176]

But Phelo still acts like a kid even today

[@MrsMax2009]

he is the deputy parents AND he can't put aside that fatherly feeling...its natural cos he raised Phelo

[@Kleafieslays]

No. Zwai did not raise them. Loyiso always helped Phelo. Loyiso paid for a lot of stuff.

[@xoliswamartin6714]

U Zwayi is being honest and true to his brothers ngoba he raised them as the father figure and Pinky a deputy mother akekho ke umntu who have honest interest at heart njengomntu ofana no Zwayi okhuluse abantakwabo bangababantu nezizinto bazizo namhlanje I feel like u Phelo no Loyiso gang up against Zwayi and bayamhleba and bad mouth him off the scene and Jen plays a role on that, u Loyiso akamkhuzi umninawa wakhe in all his bad habits, ekunxileni kwakhe, and not pitch up at work instead u Loyiso is defending u Phelo in all the wrongs Phelo has done abakhani and yet yena u Loyiso indlela zakhe nobomi bakhe be soft life buyaqhubeka uyandlondlobala ne family yakhe yabumini is getting successful, while ubrother wakhe egqusha enkunkumeni yotywala noba ngungantweni uyamlontsha u brother wakhe akamakhi at all...u Zwayi no Pinky zii deputy zabazali and umama yena akanoni noba kuyonakala u busy yi love life yakhe nalengcuka yotata e gu dyakalashe sucking soft life nge expenses zoo Zwayi kule reality show mana esiha elwandle nase restaurants u Jafta encoma umama ka Zwayi emana esithi my Queen ngeloxesha utamncuva Pinky no Zwayi sweating to collect abantwana bakhe into order no Phelo ongenambeko osileyo ufuke ethetha ngathi utshixelwe amazinyo apha . I pray for strenght ne wisdom for Zwayi and Pinky u Thixo ngathi angabapha amandla emandleni nobulumko buka Solomon ze izinyanya zabo nabobalele ukuthula macala omabini omkhulu babo zibakhusele zincedisane nabo Ibaphe amandla and protect them kubathakathi ngoba oo Jen no tata u Jafta bangaIveza as Christians kanti bayangena ko Khohlelidangatye basebenzise amayeza amdaka ukudubaduna le family for thier own agend yemali

[@IamBarati]

I agree with you. I'm not sure whether the advice loyiso and Jen give to Phelo is working for him. Phelo is very stupid to side with Jen over his own brother. Jen is a very smart lady and she has been able to play them against each other from what I see. Phelo hates discipline. Why is Jen involved in bala brothers? These guys don't protect their brother and they have hold grudges against him instead of thanking him. Who knows where they could've ended up

[@nolundinkwali2944]

Injalo you nailed it

[@Madikslife]

Yhooo ndiyaqala ukuva umntu oyibeka kanje inyani....ibuhlungu intliziyo yam ngoba loJen ufike nesichitho apha....it hurts nalo othi uyathwasa ugqityiwe nguJen...ngaske uThixo abaphe ubulumko uZwayi noPinky.....

[@hlelatuluma1494]

I agree with you mtase.

[@hombisazono2850]

totally agree with you, you are spot on.

[@kwandiweyekela3346]

Its just weird how in life, the people youve helped the most are most likely to be in the front line of your detractors. They hate being reminded of what you've done for them because it highlights their ungrateful nature and disloyalty... they have to acknowledge that they're now flying because he crawled while carrying them on his back. Zwaai can never be popular in the simple sense because he doesnt play to the gallery... he says the uncomfortable truth that everyone else is afraid to say, as it is and he doesn't bend with the remover to remove... Phelo is self destructing as many of us have or are... Loyiso is playing the role of a wife in his relationship and thats fax.. anyone who sees anything wrong with Zwaai's stance and approach has clearly never played a big brother role beyond age and trivialities... there's absolutely no lies to what he is saying but people who have a disdain for being corrected are deflecting and spilling over unto him and Pinky... free them abeg abeg!

[@hlelatuluma1494]

Uyiqhibile.

[@tsalachm8506]

I relate so much to him it makes me wanna cry

[@sinokuhlemakitela5244]

Totally agree. I wish zwai and pinky can just step away and let them be. They did their part.

[@xoliswamartin6714]

True and this is nothing but the truth

[@SmalMrs]

Phelo need to grow guys

[@nmaope]

Phelo should quit ALL substances. His depression is starting to appear like the withdrawal you get from narcotics.

[@vuyokaziqhagi9474]

[@cupcake_losah759]

Be a little kind though Pelo is going through the most so he's acting out. It's a cry for help.

[@nonozi4147]

Yoooo Phelo uyanyanyisa

[@Estell-o3t]

Classical Narcissistic Family😍😍😍 Parent abandons role of care-giving and leaves siblings to raise each other. Lots of “straight talk” but zero authentic engagement Inability to create genuine romantic bonds as adults…but marriages need to happen to seem “normal” Idea that love is walking on egg-shells Fixation on performing unity Need to always have a scapegoat…right now it’s Jen , other times baby P but it probably keeps shifting Enmeshment - hence individual choices are seen as a threat Addictions I could go on and on❤

[@Mmeme2023]

PERFORMING UNITY is the nail on the coffin right now!

[@nellyt8540]

Zwai is too much, there's a difference between loving your siblings and letting them breath and live their lives, and judging them and wanting them to live their lives in your own terms, and then call that love. Zwai does the second...I would hate to have him as a brother...he is too much!!!

[@lungiswahalimanamhlahlo8742]

Zwai and Pinky have done a great job of raising and opening opportunities for their siblings, I think we should allow them to do whatever makes them happy. The anger I see from Loyiso and Phelo is not good at all. i love Zwai and Pinky because they are straightforward & straight talkers and they always want the best for their family BUT unfortunately abanye ababoni kanjalo

[@puseletsomonnaemang2958]

Totally agree with you

[@nondwenyembezi7017]

Your critical thinking skills is impeccable 🎉

[@siviwemapekula1689]

[@mtombomagadla8399]

Zwai main thing is that he can't take other people's opinion into account. Plus he has serious problems because he's not their centre of attention. And he's personally lucky that Loyiso didn't clap him

[@confidencentombifuthi9977]

I dont understand Zwai his so controlling....let people be

[@gugulethuthimane7189]

Family is a unit its foundation is very important, my observation Jen becomes a scapegoat when there are family values which were not laid down fully .

[@Mmeme2023]

💯 So true. I'm actually loving this show for Jen. When she watches back and sees how they talk/think about her, I hope she pulls back even further than before this move and they can truly see that the problem lies within them as siblings.

[@hlelatuluma1494]

I agree but we negating the negative impact she also has. She shits talks the family too and is judgemental of how they were raised She has no idea what it is they faced and how that could have shaped how they are. Empathy from both sides is needed.

[@xolelwamqokeni7840]

So funny how Phelo doesn’t want Zwai’s approval kodwa kodwa Zwai is always there for him and Loyiso is not haibooo …yadika maan uphelo cant he see his brother loves them 😢

[@daniellamasuku8300]

Zwai should let the siblings live their lives especially Loyiso who is a grown man who can handle his family affairs. His big brother duties are too much, and he is in others spaces, and no body interferes in his life affairs.

[@auntyb4130]

Zwai can't u just have fun🙄

[@adv.tebellomatsela]

[@thandokaziayanda5518]

Zwai is trying to build his younger brother to take responsibility for his life, qha uPhelo Ingathi akayazi la hardship yakwa life efuna uthi “ man up” and suck it up . Like uzogowa until when? Loyiso is forced to stand up for his wife’s name in her absence otherwise one day “ you can’t even stand up for yourself to your brother “ UPhelo hay khona wake up bhuti and smell the coffee

[@luz5835]

So weird that i actually understand Zwai, i feel him maan.Younger siblings are an extreme sport.Not sure why he is still trying with Phelo😊

[@tsholomodibedi2236]

Its not a must to bring back the Bala Brothers from what I can see here is that every1 actually has individual struggles that requires them to be independent cos they are brothers anyway but they don't need to do everything together!

Phelo has a lot going on internally and he's grasping at relationships, seeking something he knows exists but doesn't know how to ask for it clearly. He wants a loving sister in Pinky but she's busy playing mom. His relationship with Jen won't edify him because at some point Jen will have to choose personal peace over everyone and then he'll feel abandoned all over again 💔
