Take one traditionalist, a peacekeeper, a rebel and a sister “who just wants everyone to get along” and what do you get?

A new reality TV show — The Bala Family.

The musical Bala brothers, Zwai, Loyiso and Phelo, are joined by their sister Pinky and mother, Veronica, in the new show described as an “emotional rollercoaster” spotlighting the challenges and joys of family.
