MIRROR mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful Mzansi bride of them all?
Hello, SunFamily. We don't need a mirror to tell us who is your favourite Top 6 finalist in the annual Mzansi Bride of the Year competition 2025.
Our Top 12 finalists need your votes and support for their names to make it to the next round, which is the Top 6.
Earlier this week, we told you the stories of the first three brides, brides 1 to 3, who stand in line to win prizes worth R70 453 if you vote for them.
Today, we share stories of another group of three stunning brides, brides 4 to 6, whose love tales will equally captivate you. Meet bride number 4, Sithembile Mbatha, as well as bride number 5, Masego Mokoena, and makoti number 6, Dineo Magagula.
4. Sithembile Mbatha
After meeting in 2012 and falling madly in love, Sithembile, who hails from Sikweni in Nongoma, says they were blessed with a beautiful baby daughter two years later.
It was 11 years later when the couple got married during Heritage Day weekend this year. Their love has endured, and now it's time for Sithembile to bask in happiness.
5. Masego Mokoena
Hailing from Ga-Rankuwa in Tshwane, Masego recalls how she met her hubby while attending a wedding at the venue's parking lot only to be allocated a seat right next to him inside the venue. "We clicked right away, and many people commented on how good we looked together. We somehow also wore matching outfits that day."
She shares how emotional her day was when the two said their own vows in front of family and friends. "Our wedding day was so special with heartfelt speeches that brought people to tears."
6. Dineo Magagula
Dineo's husband is a true knight whose family values and support towards her late nephew, who was an addict, drew her to him.
This showed the Mamelodi-based bride that he was someone to do life with through good and bad times.
"I fell in love with his big heart. My nephew was being hunted down after he stole from people, and my husband took care of him. When my nephew moved in with me, he was the one guiding him."
