Mzansi Magic’s “Makoti, Are You The One?” is making a grand return to the small screen with a drama-filled third season three.
The stakes are higher than ever as four women from diverse backgrounds embark on a whirlwind journey to prove their worthiness and secure familial blessings for marriage.
Over the course of 21 days, each prospective bride must navigate the complexities of her potential in-laws' homes while undertaking traditional makoti duties.
This groundbreaking reality show delves into the heart of South African culture, showcasing not only the expectations placed upon women but also the deep-rooted family dynamics that influence marriage choices.
Meet the cast:
• Tamara Samuels and Koketso Matlaila – The lovebirds met four years ago, and have been official for two. Now, their love story is ready for the spotlight!
• Phindile Kunene and Themba Magengenene – Three years ago their paths crossed and for over two years, they’ve been writing their own romantic fairytale.
• Zizo Mpumlo and Pholani Mapisa – A party in 2020 was just the beginning. One epic night turned into four years of love, laughs and unforgettable memories!
• Bridget Kgwedi and Themba Maseko - Half of the lobola is paid and the pair fell in love in 2019. The couple is ready to tie the knot!
Are the potential brides ready for the next chapter, or will they crumble under the pressure?
The previous season was full of drama and some heart-warming moments as we saw how the couples navigated their relationships while the potential brides tried their best to blend in with the families.
From cultural expectations and different backgrounds, the journey was not as smooth as some of the potential brides like Refiloe Lesia, Sophie Ngwenya and Pinky Makgwale, thought it was going to be.
This season promises to escalate the drama, with unexpected twists and emotional confrontations set to captivate audiences.
• “Makoti, Are You The One?” season 3 is set to air on Mzansi Magic (DStv channel 161) on Sunday, March 30 at 6pm.
