Pamela Mtanga Takes on New Dating Show

South African TV presenter and multimedia entrepreneur Pamela Mtanga is adding another exciting project to her television career as she prepares to host Mzansi Magic’s upcoming reality dating show, Elevator Love Mzansi.

The new series is set to premiere on Sunday, 18 October 2026, at 18:00 on DStv Channel 161. The show promises to bring romance, entertainment and a fresh approach to finding love, with singles given the opportunity to make meaningful connections in an unconventional setting.

Unlike traditional dating shows, Elevator Love Mzansi introduces a matchmaking concept centred on the idea of an elevator pitch. Romantic hopefuls will have to present themselves and impress potential partners, making first impressions an important part of their journey towards finding love.

The format also brings friends and loved ones into the dating process. With the support and input of the people closest to them, contestants will navigate the search for romance while exploring whether their potential connections could develop into something meaningful.

For Pamela, hosting the show adds a new dimension to her presenting career, allowing her to step into the world of reality dating while connecting with audiences through a programme focused on relationships and modern romance.

However, Elevator Love Mzansi is not the only project keeping Pamela busy. The presenter is also co-hosting VIP Lounge, Mzansi Magic’s lifestyle magazine show, alongside musician and content creator Zulu Mkhathini.

The show takes viewers into the worlds of luxury, culture and influence while celebrating Black South African excellence. Its coverage spans television, fashion, music, art, culture, lifestyle and current affairs, highlighting the people making an impact across the country’s creative industries.

Through conversations about success and the stories behind it, VIP Lounge gives audiences a closer look at inspiring personalities and achievements within South Africa’s entertainment and cultural landscape.

With VIP Lounge already on air and Elevator Love Mzansi premiering on 18 October 2026, Pamela continues to expand her television presence. While one show celebrates influential South Africans and their achievements, the other explores modern romance and the search for meaningful connections, showcasing her versatility as a presenter.
