Ready for the ultimate relationship test? Temptation Island South Africa is it – and it officially starts streaming on Showmax today.
The popular reality series follows four couples at a pivotal time in their relationship, where they must mutually decide if they are ready to commit to one another for the rest of their lives — or go their separate ways.

And the men were just as direct. “Good evening, ladies,” said Dainamiaro ‘Dain’ Ogulu. “I’m a sexy model from Nigeria. I might be standing on two legs, but my third leg holds me out.” Calim ‘Muggz’ Mgagula broke into a slow dance routine while introducing himself as an exotic dancer and firefighter, while stand-up comedian Tats Nkonzo said, “I’ve asked myself over 100 times why I am doing this, and I’ve had 100 different answers.
