Shocking Salary For ‘Our Perfect Wedding’ Hosts Revealed! Most people believe the showbiz industry is all that glitz and glamour and will make one rich but in reality it couldn’t be the furthest from the truth especially in Mzansi.
Despite ‘Our Perfect Wedding’ being the most watched and most successful TV show on all of DSTV channels, the presenters only get paid around R12 500 per episode which is shot over four days.
TV: #OurPerfectWedding presenters salary
Ever wondered how much the presenters on the no.1 show on Dstv earn?
They earn around R12,500 per episode for a 4 day work of atleast 18 hours and no overtime pay. That’s R3k per day. The new host might earn even less. [THREAD] pic.twitter.com/HY5VYMS2Af

Whilst it might seem not too bad when you calculate how much that amounts to per month, in entertainment it’s peanuts and that is before the tax, manager and agent’s cut.
According to entertainment commentator Phil Mphela, the new host who was found through a presenter search might earn less than that because she doesn’t have the experience and isn’t a big name already.
There reason why I say Kayise, the new presenter from the OPWPresenterSearch, might earn less, is because of the archaic salary system we still use in SA — where talent is paid by experience {how long they’ve been around} in the industry not what they bring to the show.
