The Bala family’s reality show, The Bala Family, keeps delivering real, raw family drama that has fans glued to the screen. In the latest episode, tension between brothers Zwai and Phelo reached a breaking point, with each man standing firm in his beliefs.
Phelo confided his desire to step out of the family’s shadow and make a name for himself. According to The South African, he shared his need to be independent and break away from the Bala brand.
Zwai, however, didn’t take kindly to this revelation. In a move that feels both protective and harsh, he forbade Phelo from using the Bala surname for any future business.
It’s a decision that underlines the deep-rooted loyalty – and tension – that comes with being part of such a prominent family.
A clip shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) captures the drama as Zwai reads a forceful email to Phelo, with other family members caught in the emotional fallout.
The moment is intense, raw, and unfiltered – reminding fans why this show hits so close to home. Watch it here.

This second season also revealed that Phelo doesn’t share a biological father with his siblings, adding yet another layer to the family’s story.
Together, siblings Pinky, Zwai, Loyiso, and Phelo, along with their mother, Mama V ( real name Vuyiswa) are navigating a world without their father, Sebenzile Jafta, who passed away earlier this year.
It’s been a season of raw emotions, heartache, and resilience as they bravely share their complex reality with the world.
