Finding your soulmate made easy on SABC’s new dating show

All the people who are single and looking to mingle will be given an opportunity to find love on a new dating show that will air on SABC2.

Love is Love follows the people who are on a quest to find their soulmates. 

With the help of a best friend, each contestant will pick stand-out entries from a list of entrants entered to be a part of the process.


They will then go on a group date with chosen candidates and two will be selected to go on a more personal one-on-one date.

Eventually, the contestant will pick a candidate they want to get to know better during the episode’s big finale.

There are 11 contestants looking for love. Those who are keen on a date with one of the love seekers can visit the show’s social media pages or its website.
