The third season of Mnakwethu: Happily Ever After makes a return on Mzansi Magic this July on Thursday nights.
Mnakwethu, a reality TV show about couples in polygamous relationships, is set to bring drama, tears, and confrontations all in the name of love.
The show has managed to catch viewers’ attention from the first season. It highlights the challenges faced by married men and their multiple chosen partners as they navigate the delicate balance between multiple wives.
In the third season, the couples go through twists and turns that have unfolded since the last season, including a fertility journey, a love child, and lingering questions surrounding child paternity.
Shirley Adonisi, director of local entertainment channels, said: “The reality series has been a great asset to our overall local content, and Mnakwethu: Happily Ever After has been among our top-performing programmes on linear and catch-up viewing since it first came to our screens.
“We’re thrilled to continue sharing the journeys of these compelling couples with our viewers.”
This season, audiences will be reintroduced to the memorable couples from the first season.
Dulas, torn between MaShozi and MaMhlongo, has now become a father with a new partner. He finds himself spending most of his time in Johannesburg and faces the challenge of convincing MaMhlongo to become his first wife.
Qondanisa previously introduced his wife Sithokozile “Mamchunu” to his girlfriend Samantha, who faces a rocky road as secrets and suspicions threaten this couple.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Samantha’s child’s paternity, Qondanisa steps up as a father figure to keep his family together.
Mphahlele is using polygamy as an escape from his relationship problems with Thulani and Caroline, but continues to add women to his life. Despite not completing the lobola for Thulani, he prepares to welcome a third wife.
Celimpilo grapples with his fertility struggles with his wife, MaMzobe. Despite her reservations, she reluctantly accepts polygamy as the only solution.
The season premiere will air on July 20 at 8pm on Mzansi Magic.
