The Single Wives SA
Based on the popular Australian format, The Single Wives SA is a reality show that follows six previously married women who’ve been unlucky in love as they embark on an expert-led journey of self-discovery and transformation, which will give them real-life tools to possibly find love.
Transformational coach and talk show host Justin Cohen and Kaya FM relationship counsellor Mapaseka Mokwele guide the women on their journey as they share their anxieties, shed their fears, and face the stumbling blocks that have prevented them from being in a healthy relationship.
Unlike other dating shows, Justin says, “It’s not about competing for an object of affection nor finding that Mr Right; it’s about women who are willing to be vulnerable and the process that they will go through to get to a point where they’re ready for a potentially long-lasting relationship again.”
“At the same time,” Mapaseka adds, “it’s a journey filled with entertainment, tears and laughter – one definitely worth taking.”
