A fresh new dating show, The Catch, is coming to Mzansi Magic on Sunday, February 16 at 21:00, and it promises to bring drama, surprises, and big prizes. Hosted by TV personality Kat Sinivasan, best known for co-hosting Mzansi Insider on SABC1, this show brings a fresh take on the dating genre, blending love with deception.
In The Catch, eight beautiful women are on a mission to find their perfect match. The twist? There are not just eligible bachelors to choose from—there are also six sneaky impostors posing as bachelors, all with one goal: to trick the women and steal the grand prize of half a million rand.
The show sets the stage for an exciting challenge as the ladies try to sort out who is genuine and who is there to play games. Will true love triumph, or will the impostors pull off the ultimate con? It’s a high-stakes game, and viewers are in for a wild ride.
Entertainment commentator and TV host Phil Mphela shared the news on X ( formerly Twitter) , sparking mixed reactions from South African viewers. Some fans are eager to see what The Catch has in store, while others are less enthusiastic about yet another dating show.
One user, @mamtungwa_, expressed frustration with the wave of dating and sex-themed shows: “I am tired of dating shows, sex shows. What happened to ‘So You Think You Can Dance,’ comedy competitions?”
Another X user, @TumeloTiger1, questioned the choice of host, saying, “They could’ve chosen a better presenter to be honest. Kat is so boring.”
However, there were some supporters of the show. @yeyeye_gugu commented, “Nothing like mjolo content for a South African audience,” showing excitement for the drama that often surrounds dating shows.
The Catch promises to be a rollercoaster of emotions and unexpected twists. Who will find love, and who will end up heartbroken? Tune in on February 16 to find out.
