Meet the Balas

The Bala brothers – Loyiso, Zwai, and Phelo – have become household names. In the reality series, viewers will not only meet the rest of the family but they’ll get a completely different view of who the Balas are.

 

Zwai is the patriarch and traditionalist; Loyiso is the peace-maker, and a nice guy who is sometimes passive-aggressive; Phelo is the rebel and outlier; Pinky is the mother figure, who wants everyone to get along; and sister, Veronica, binds everything together.
