As a result of the show garnering attention. The viewers have started to create archetypes using the different family members. As such, it has been established that Sis’ Pinky and Zwai, as the oldest, are the leaders of the family.
Matriarch Veronica Jafta is seen as the love-first character that her prioritised her own happiness over that of her children. This is as Veronica has been more than open about her pursuit of love, even if it meant hurting her children in the process.
However, the latest episode seemed to shine a light into the dynamics of Loyiso Bala and his marriage to his wife and mother of his three children, Jennifer. A fact which has led to the belief that the real villain of the reality show might be Jen…
Is Jen Bala the villain of The Bala Family?
During the start of The Bala Family, the matter of Jennifer Bala and her alleged failure to be the exemplary wife figure in the family was already alluded to by Sis’ Pinky.
However, it was during the latest episode that viewers seemed incensed by the apparent lack of effort that Jen has tried to bridge the already strained relationship between her husband Loyiso, and his family. Specifically, his mother, Veronica.
As such, viewers took to the timeline when Jen seemed not to be interested in having her children bond with their grandmother. More so as she attributed the fact to the children’s “schedule” and routine being disturbed should they sleep over at their grandmother’s.
Hay usile umfazi kaLoyiso. She is lucky she's got a sweet mother in law who is even reaching out. She just to be a present granny to their kids but hay lo mfazi akayingenanga
Mother in-law's have had a rich history of being toxic that we have focused on condemning it so much we didn't notice WE ARE ENABLING SUCH BEHAVIOUR...
But it seems that Jen has come around since shooting the show. This is as she took this past Mother’s Day to share how she put on her doek, drove with her children, and spent the special day catering to her mothers. Maybe seeing the show, she realised the error in her ways and is changing her ways…
