Season two of Married at First Sight South Africa has Mzansi glued to their screens. From baby mama drama to explosive conversations about sex and religion, fans can't get enough.

The second season is shaking things up on Sunday nights.

The show introduces a bold group of singles who marry strangers in the name of love. This season's couples include Palesa Mphaki and Tshepo Miya; Makoto Phumodi and Nkululeko Mahlangu; Themba Khosa and Nelisa Ntabeni; and Portia Baloyi and Bongani Luvalo.

Now legally bound, the newlyweds are learning just how complicated love at first sight can be.

Newlywed Phumodi opened up about her journey, her husband and all the drama.

She said she took part in the experiment because she wanted to try something different.

"I wanted to look for love in an unconventional way. There's no manual to this experiment, so I went in with an open heart," she said.
