For the past 11 weeks, there have been numerous online conversations about the couples who got married at first sight, navigating married life in real time.

They are Palesa Mphaki and Tshepo Miya as well as Makoto Phumodi and Nkuleleko Mahlangu, Themba Khosa and Nelisa Ntabeni, and Portia Baloyi and Bongani Luvalo.

In the latest episode, emotions ran high as tensions surfaced between some of the couples.

Baloyi and Luvalo had an intimate and heartfelt conversation about grief, following the recent passing of Baloyi’s father.

After finding himself tired of the external noise, Luvalo joined the show to try a different approach to finding a wife.

“To cut out options and choice and see if one can meet a person who’s com-

mitted to the institution of marriage,” he said.
