Mzansi Magic’s New Show Ugembula Ngathi Turns Up the Heat on Gambling Addiction
This August, Mzansi Magic goes all in with Ugembula Ngathi, a hard-hitting new show that lays bare the high-stakes world of gambling addiction and its devastating impact on Mzansi Families.
Hosted by Tshepo Maseko, each episode deals a tough hand for families who are left feeling betrayed by a loved one’s risky habits. From breadwinners doubling down and breaking the bank to online gamblers who are forever chasing the next jackpot, the show is a rollercoaster of heartbreak, betrayal and high-stakes interventions.
At the end of each episode, a representative from the South African Responsible Gambling Foundation steps in, offering professional insight, critical support and a possible path to healing.
Ugembula Ngathi is not just a TV show, it’s also a lifeline for those living on the edge of ruin, a wake-up call, a second chance. So…will the interventions break the cycle or will the gambler risk it all one more time?
Tune in to Ugembula Ngathi where every bet has a price, starting Wednesday 06 August at 20:00 on Mzansi Magic (DStv Channel 161).
