The wait is over! Makoti, Are You The One? is back with Season 3, premiering on 30 March at 18:00 CAT on Mzansi Magic (DStv Channel 161). This season promises higher stakes, tougher challenges, and intense family scrutiny as four women fight to earn their in-laws’ approval to marry the men they love.
For 21 days, these brides-to-be will move into their partners’ family homes, facing the traditional practice of ‘ukukotiza’—a test of patience, resilience, and cultural expectations. Every action they take could make or break their future, deciding whether they get a wedding or heartbreak.
Meet the Couples Taking on the Challenge:
• Tamara Samuels & Koketso Matlaila – Their love story began four years ago, but will Koketso’s family accept Tamara?
• Phindile Kunene & Themba Magengenene – After three years together, will their love be strong enough to survive the family’s judgment?
• Zizo Mpumlo & Pholani Mapisa – A romance that started at a 2020 party is now facing the ultimate test—will it pass?
• Bridget Kgwedi & Themba Maseko – Half the lobola has been paid, but will the family give their final blessing?
This season, family traditions will 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 force them out? And when the final decision comes, will the grooms choose their brides—or listen to their families?
Don’t miss Makoti, Are You The One? Season 3, premiering Sunday, 30 March at 18:00 CAT on Mzansi Magic (DStv Channel 161).
Love, culture, and family expectations—who will survive ukukotiza? Tune in to find out!
