This just in... an update from Mzansi Magic about the channel's new year premieres.

As you'll see, the channel's #1 show Our Perfect Wedding is still very much on the schedule despite the fact that it's been bleeding sponsors. Both ABSA and Vodacom pulled out of the show this month after the controversy caused by the episode on Sunday, 29 November which was accused of glamourising rape culture.

If you missed Dr Tlaleng Mofokeng's letter about it to the Broadcasting Complaints Commission, you'll find it here: OPW - What a disgrace.
