Would you ever put your faith in a team of experts in the hope of being scientifically paired with a partner of your dreams? Not only that, but you only get to meet your ‘perfect match’ for the first time at the wedding altar. Married at First Sight Mzansi, premiering on Mzansi Magic from Sunday 16 June, will be helping eight Mzansi singles do just that!
Viewers will be treated to this captivating, worldwide social experiment which follows eight courageous participants from diverse backgrounds, ages, and walks of life to saying, “I do,” to someone they have never met. These newlyweds then have six weeks, with the specialists nurturing their budding relationships, to decide whether they're going to stay together or separate.
“Married at First Sight is a franchise show that has been embraced across many countries in the world and has seen some of the singles’ dreams of finding a life match come true,” says Shirley Adonisi, Director for Local Entertainment. “As Mzansi Magic, we are looking forward to having this show on our platform to see if strangers can indeed end up as each other’s ‘forever’.”
