"So much has been said about me and most of it is not true. I want to tell my story in my own words."

"Disappointed, can’t they get us current husbands' wives and girlfriends instead of exes?"

DumDiesel argued:

"Not everything should be a show."

"Boring. We want actual wives, not exes."

On the other hand, some netizens made suggestions for a rugby reality show:

Burnerburnerac5 proposed:

"What Showmax needs to do is give us a fresh and classy mini-series about rugby and cricket WAGs that does not involve the women throwing drinks at each other."

lesego_haaland complained

"We keep getting everything BUT a show for rugby WAGs!"

Mohudugi requested:

"I need kykNET to pull up their socks and give us the wives of rugby and cricket players. I will read the subtitles."

"Boo! Give us rugby vrous rather."

Showmax accused of stealing show concept

Showmax recently went under fire after two women claimed that the steaming giant stole their concept for a reality show about finding love.

Bae Beyond Borders (originally Love Beyond Borders) was said to have been proposed months before Showmax introduced it. However, despite the backlash from the scandal, Showmax went ahead with the launch, but netizens weren't impressed with the show:

Nhlanhla Lux reportedly takes over Sizok'thola

In a recent report, Briefly News caught online reactions to the news that Nhlanhla Lux may be in talks with Moja Love to host Sizok'thola.

Am_Blujay said:

"After the fake bomb story, I don't know why anyone would trust Nhlanhla Lux."

This follows Xolani Khumalo's axing from the channel after being charged with murder. His court case has since been postponed to 2024.
