The trailer features him hosting a housewarming at his estate in Blair Athol. He shares the mansion with his 90-something year old mother; four of his children; and Angela Ngani-Casara, his third wife.
The trailer shows Lebo M admitting the dysfunctionality of his family history, which has seen him married three times, helped to raise nine children, one of whom tragically passed away.
The tension with Tshepiso, his only surviving son, is particularly evident in the trailer. Tshepiso lives in Midrand and has just become a father himself, but Lebo describes their relationship as the worst it has ever been since he was born.
