Season three of “Married At First Sight Mzansi” has viewers up in arms over the drama the couples are experiencing.

The couples have not even been married for a full month, and yet the marriages have been rocky.

This season’s panel of experts includes relationship expert Thabang Mashigo, relationship coach and officiating minister Pastor Xolani Hiltana, intimacy expert Dr Mpume Zenda and marriage and family counsellor Bakhe Dlamini, who returns after first appearing in Season one.

Viewers of season three have complained that the experts did not match the couples well, with personalities clashing.

Fans don’t even have favourites, with many worried about whether the couples are on the show to find genuine love or fame. 

Nompulelo and Hlulani’s clashes have viewers wondering if there is any hope for the couple, with both of them being petty in their arguments and marriage.

@SharonParagon_ said, “If they have another season, I really need them to find new experts for Married at First Sight Mzansi. These ones aren’t it, honestly.”

@letjobana_M_ said: “Married At First Sight Mzansi?. Claps hands twice in utter shock. Because wow!!. Hlulani, Matshediso and Esethu deserve better. The people they paired them with are the absolute ghetto!!. #MarriedAtFirstSightMzansi”

The couples also seem to be oversharing on social media, making it hard for viewers to keep up between the show and the timelines.

One revelation that shocked many viewers is that one of the men on the show, Prince, was married before coming on the show. An account on X by the name of @uMamncane has spilled the tea on the alleged marriage.

Viewers have also called out Prince’s behaviour towards his wife Esethu on the show as he has used derogatory language while speaking to.
