NEW SEASON OF ‘MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT SOUTH AFRICA‘

This season introduces a fresh team of experts, including marriage and relationship coach Linda Yende and others. They help guide the couples through the highs and lows of their new marriages.

The show has been trending intensively, with an episode spotlighting emerging tensions between Palesa and Tshepo.

PALESA ON POLYGAMY

Palesa revealed her worries about Tshepo’s admiration for polygamy and suspects he might be unfaithful.

She said, “I didn’t enter this experience out of desperation. If I want a cheating man, the streets are there.”

This moment marked a pivotal point in their marriage drama, with Palesa feeling unsettled by Tshepo’s behaviour.

Palesa candidly shared her experience on the show: “Watching myself on screen has been peculiar, but it has allowed me to see myself differently. People recognise me now, and I am getting used to it.”

CHALLENGES OF MARRYING A STRANGER

She added that the biggest challenge of marrying a stranger is uncovering sides of them you never expected.

“The polygamy conversation surprised me. I couldn’t understand why he would bring it up,” she said.

She also praised the storyline of her fellow couple, Makoto and Nkuleleko, appreciating how their journey challenges social perceptions.

Off-camera, she maintains regular contact with some cast members but admits that her communication with Portia is nonexistent.

NEW EPISODES

Fans of the show can catch new episodes every Sunday at 6:30 PM on Mzansi Magic or stream them on Showmax.

Palesa urges viewers to keep watching, promising, “The storyline is full of surprises, and there’s so much more to come.”

This season promises compelling stories and raw emotions, reflecting the vibrant and complex nature of relationships in South Africa today.
