Wedding show not so perfect for Phumeza

MZANSI Magic's popular reality wedding show Our Perfect Wedding might have a different presenter next season. The show's host Phumeza Mdabe says she is considering quitting the show as it is taking a toll on her family life.

"I do not think that the next season I am going to be on. I am grateful for the experience and I loved doing it. "But I miss my family so much, I hardly get to see the kids and the husband. it is a huge sacrifice," the mother of four says.

She says she virtually has only two days a week at home to spend time with her family. The show's production runs from Wednesdays to Sundays. This includes shooting, researching and doing voice-overs.

Mdabe says the punishing schedule means the crew sometimes work up to 18 hours a day. She has been presenting the show for six months.

The presenter is married to musician Shota, who gained fame through the group Shana. They were traditionally married in January and their youngest child was born last August.

Aired on Mzansi Magic on Sundays at 7pm, Our Perfect Wedding is a popular show that trends on social media a lot as fans discuss the mishaps and weird events of the weddings flighted.
