… but will things change?
MAFS First impressions article

Nothing screams unconventional more than taking a leap of faith with nothing other than your appearance and attributes and putting it all in the hands of experts to find your forever person. To expect this process to transpire with no hiccups would be a dream, but it does come with its fair share of cuteness overload.

Speaking of cuteness, the first couple to be matched was Nelisa and Themba and their union was like a beautiful page out of a novel. Nelisa needed a partner to live with adventurously while Themba expressed his desire to build a family. “I love him already,” was instantly uttered by Nelisa after seeing the person who would be her husband in a matter of minutes; and they have been smitten since.

While some came with open minds, others emphasised that “eyes eat first” and Portia wasn’t willing to play that off, because looks matter to her. She has been looking for a hunk and Bongani being her match isn’t what she ordered.

Vows were made despite her disappointment but much like us, she wonders if her first impression will last or if she needs time to let it all sink in.

This concept still leaves many with questions but tuning in and having opinions stays being the hill. Here is what you had to say about these pairings.
