ARE you single? Have you given up on finding the love of your life on your own?
If so, just watch and learn how others search for their life partners.
Mzansi Magic's new arranged marriage show called Ngikhethele helps those who have love life problems on screens in a modern way.
The show will start on Sunday, 16 July at 6pm. It follows the journey of eight single people let down by modern dating, and turn to their families in search of ideal life partners.
Mzansi Magic's director of Local Entertainment Channels, Shirley Adonisi, said the channel's dedication is to provide viewers with diverse and high-quality content.
"Mzansi Magic is committed to offering its viewers the best in local entertainment that stretches across various genres. Ngikhethele adds a fresh and unique perspective to romance and embracing traditional values in a modern context.
"Ngikhethele is a timely reminder of the value of family input in life decisions. We hope this show will demonstrate how families play a role in the choices we make and the difference that their support makes," she said.

The process will start with families visiting the Ngikhethele lounge to establish their preferences and criteria for a match for their son.
Two families are picked for initial dates. After the dates, the families move on to the home date phase, with the groom's family visiting the top two homes and vice versa.
The true essence of the show lies in the final decision-making process, where families select their preferred match for the singles.
Once decided, lobola negotiations start with a letter sent to the bride's family asking permission to start the negotiations. If the bridge family agrees, then the real lobola starts and both families gather to celebrate the engagement.
