For 21 days, these brave brides-to-be will step into their partners' family homes, facing the deeply traditional practice of ‘ukukotiza’—a test of resilience, patience, and cultural expectations. It’s an emotional battlefield where every word, every action, and every decision could mean the difference between a wedding or a heartbreak.
Meet the Couples Taking on the Challenge:
🔹 Tamara Samuels & Koketso Matlaila – After locking eyes four years ago, their love grew stronger, but will the family approve?
🔹 Phindile Kunene & Themba Magengenene – Three years in the making, but will their love survive the family’s judgment?
🔹 Zizo Mpumlo & Pholani Mapisa – A chance meeting at a 2020 party led to an unforgettable romance, but will it stand the ultimate test?
🔹 Bridget Kgwedi & Themba Maseko – With half the lobola already paid, is wedding bliss on the horizon, or will the family say no?
This season, family traditions clash with modern love, and not everyone will make it to the altar. Will these women prove themselves as worthy makotis, or will the pressure push them out the door? And when the moment of truth arrives, will the groom stand by his bride—or bow to his family’s will?

Love, culture, and family expectations—who will survive ukukotiza? Tune in to find out!
