Navigating umjolo can be tricky and full of surprises. Last Chance Love, a reality show debuting on Wednesday 10 January on Mzansi Magic, DStv channel 161, digs into this topic from a new angle. 

This series takes viewers inside the lives of four young singles, each eager to break free from their relationship barriers which makes it impossible for them to keep lasting relationships. They're not just looking for relationships, they're also trying to understand why umjolo has been difficult for them.

Produced by The Narrators Africa, the team behind the Mzansi Magic drama series Nkululeko, Last Chance Love deals with the love lives of our 'undatables': Sibu, Zoya, Thato, and Bontle. Guided by relationship expert Makabelo Motaung, the participants explore their own sense of self-discovery.  

Mzansi Magic presents Killer Front Page

The show features four pivotal dates for each: with a crush, an ex, a setup by a loved one, and a blind date with a stranger. On top of these experiences, they take part in personal exercises designed to develop better versions of themselves, all in the hope of breaking their toxic dating patterns.

Shirley Adonisi, M-Net's director of local entertainment channels, says: "With Last Chance Love, we're embracing the season of love by offering a platform that celebrates what makes love stories in Mzansi different. The show is an expression of love in all its forms, and we're excited to share these authentic and touching stories with our audience."

Meet the cast:

• Zoya, 30: The 'Nudist Chakra Hun', Zoya's trusting nature often leads her into challenging situations, but her ultimate goal is to find true happiness.
• Bontle, 23: Known as 'The Fluid DJ', Bontle's selflessness sometimes means she loses herself in others. Her goal is for an intimate, deep connection.
• Sibu FDB, 35: A fashion designer of non-binary clothes, 'The Eccentric Rock Star' Sibu is a vibrant personality, searching for a meaningful connection beyond his fun-loving exterior.
