from The Forum@8 Hosted by SAfm
Earlier in the week, we heard a lot of outrage from television viewers including on social media, criticising tv channel Mzansi Magi, for showing a love story of a couple that met when the bride was only 14 years of age. Our Perfect Wedding showed the groom telling viewers how he slept with school children as a 28-year old taxi driver, and how his now wife had to compete for his attention.

But the Mnet channel has since reacted to the criticism saying their reality shows reflect our society as it is.
