 Attention Mjolo content lovers! A spin-off of the global hit social experiment, The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On has made its way to Mzansi shores. Today, Netflix announced its newest reality offering, The Ultimatum South Africalaunching on the service on 10 May 2024 and sees six couples ask the age-old question: do we marry or do we move on? 

Hosted by South African power couple, Salamina Mosese and Howza Mosese, the nine-part series sees six couples who undergo a test of trust, true love, desire and honesty. In a not-so-traditional dating show format, The Ultimatum South Africa requires one partner ready for marriage to issue an ultimatum to their partner who’s wary of taking a trip down the aisle and saying “I do”. 

The Ultimatum South Africa hosts Salamina Mosese and Howza Mosese provide pearls of wisdom on marriage and dating to couples 

During the experiment, the six couples break up, date their co-stars and finally choose one person to enter into a trial marriage with, putting their love lives through the wringer as new relationships form and old relationships hang on by a thread. Once the trial marriage is completed, couples enter into a second trial marriage with their original partner where they have to decide if they’re in it for the long haul or if they want an out. 

Will our couples leave engaged, single, or with a new love? Find out on The Ultimatum South Africa on 10 May 2024, only on Netflix.
