Most women have to wait until after they get married to build relationships with their in laws, but these women are brave enough to spend 21 days with their in-laws to get to know each other before they say 'I do'.
They are hoping to get a blessing from the in-laws to marry their sons.
Mzansi Magic’s Makoti, Are You the One? is coming back to the screens for the second season.
The process is also seen as a way to test the prospective wife's character and commitment to her future husband and his family despite challenging family dynamics. Makoti, Are You the One? opens the door to the trials and tribulations couples experience with their families.
This season, viewers will explore the opinions and tasks given to Refiloe, Pinky, Sophie and Wendy by their in-laws in order to determine whether the women are the appropriate fit for their potential families.
