Utatakho and Face 2 Face return to Mzansi Wethu this January
Two brand new seasons of Mzansi’s fan-favourites are set to start on Mzansi Wethu (DStv Channel 163) in 2026.
Utatakho S9
Returning with a new host Nonkanyiso ‘LaConco’ Conco, Utatakho follows emotional journeys as people raised with uncertainty about their biological fathers seek answers, closure and in some cases, reconciliation.
In a country where absent fathers, cultural identity, and family disputes are pressing social issues, Utatakho is more than just a reality show, it mirrors Mzansi society, revealing the pain, hope and healing that come with uncovering the truth.
Utatakho S9 premieres on Monday, 26 January at 19:00 on Mzansi Wethu (DStv Channel 163).
Face 2 Face S3
Face 2 Face is coming back for Season 3 and this time it’s packing even more drama plus a brand-new host Sipho ‘Alphi’ Mkhwanazi.
Face 2 Face dives deep into the messy world of infidelity, giving betrayed partners the platform to demand answers and accountability from cheating lovers and their side pieces. The show doesn’t just expose the affair, but the motives behind the cheating, whether it’s money or just emotional manipulation.
Face 2 Face S3 premieres on Thursday, 29 January at 19:30 on Mzansi Wethu (DStv Channel 163).
